Teller @ O2 Bristol
Tuesday night was the fist gig of Teller’s (Tellermusic.com) UK summer tour. This was the first gig that i had attended at the Academy 2 venue so i decided to take my camera along and try and blag my way in. Lucky for me they didn’t seem too bothered about giving me a photo pass, so i got in free for the night with my camera. On first impressions the venue did not jump out in any way. For those who have not yet been to the upstairs venue, it is small bar area all on one level with a small stage at the end. The lighting for the stage was the same as you would expect in any small venue of a similar size. What did impress me was the sound, they had a great sound engineer that made the bands sound like they were playing on the main stage downstairs. Anyway, back to the photos. Although i had a press pass, there was no photo pit and no area for me to get in front of the crowd, i had to fight my way around people and guess at some photos as i held my camera over the barrier. Regardless, the results were great. I have been trying to build up my online band portfolio for a while and this is the first time i have taken live photos that i would really want to print and hang on my wall. I have uploaded a very small selection to my Flickr gallery, so head on over there and check them out.
P.S. Don’t forget to leave me some of your comments!
