Favourite Gig Pics

Could chose from a few but my current favourite (as I found it recently in my archive) is this one from a few years back.

My band I was in at the time were about to go on at a small music festival and we were the first band on, already a tough situation as you can see from the lack of punters.

Instead of advertising to the attendees that the music was about to start the official festival’s social media advertised the cake stand was now open, with us in the background.

Still makes me laugh to this day. We got out billed/demoted by a sponge cake!!

And now I’m chuckling again

Sorry, but I couldn't help but think of this:

A few from our tour with Six Feet Under in 2019... Biggest venues I've played so far. The last picture, the venue was not so big, but it was very memorable, we had to be escorted through the audience by security after the gig. I don't know, it was just something about that whole experience, people wanted to grab hold of us as we walked off. Felt like a true rockstar right there :LOL:. Me with the black glove in the middle.

I love this one. It was a concert in the park several years back. The little kid in front of the stage with the football jersey is my son. He was 7 at the time, he's 15 now!

We all must have them. I love this one from a 'secret' pre-tour gig in Berlin, 2019

nothing will beat this from me...this is like looking into a small corner of my "mental heaven"!!!!

most of my favorite gig pics are not in digital format; buried in scrapbooks in boxes at the storage unit for now

i know of one of us at CBGB's in 91...

this is probably the best one I can find of recent gigs...me on bass though:

I think it catches the usual vibe of the shows...
 
I’ll play more seriously this time. Both images for sentimental reasons.

The first is a shot for a band I formed back in our hometown in 2001. We moved around the country a bit together, split up then did a final show in 2015 in London to tie up some loose ends & close the chapter of the band.

It was a lot of fun that night.

This shot is of my former bandmate, Manchester legend and friend Denise Johnson, from a band I was in from 2008 - 2014 (although we never ‘split up’)

Taken from a show we did in Preston, UK touring / supporting the boys from New Order.

Denise unfortunately passed away in 2020 and I still miss her very much. And I love this image of her.

Great pic.
We played CGBG's quite a few times. There are video's on YouTube but I haven't come across pics from any of them. Such a fun place & sorely missed.

yep...it is a shame that it is no longer there...from what I have seen/heard, that part of NYC is pretty bland now...

you guys need to come through the midwest at some point...specifically C-bus!!! It would be cool to see you live!! I might even get my 52 year old ass in the pit again!!!
