It is some silly time in the morning (7.30am) - and I mean that for me in my world , and my brain wouldn't shutdown after getting up to get a drink(been up since 4.45am) Done alot in a few hours mainly household things - cleaned up the kitchen,bathroom, popped some washing on yawny stuff, but got to be done (less to do later )
Yesterday evening helped out on the Brand Violet video. First time I have heard the band & they are great live - best way to check out most artists for me Hard to pin them down into one genre (which is a good thing)They have a definate rock 50's feel about them edgy, hard & sweet all at the same time. Sally's soprano vocal is ace - reminds me a bit of Clare Grogan (if anyone remembers her)sweet,dirty, misty sense to her voice. And the band and she gel so well together, definately want to go to some more gigs .
I was actually there to help out anntenna, with the video he's making for Brand Violet and Creamy Goodnes aka Poppa Creamy & brainfreeze, were there too We had fun & I got to nore on brainfreezeneck (Thanks Hun ). I hope it comes out well, be good to see it out there. I'm glad I went Thanks anntenna

So for the rest of my day I will be doing a mixture of fun stuff & chores . Picking up my photos from Wednesday nights event - Common Threads. Put together by Alex Pascall & Deirdre Pascall. When I showed up & realised who it was, I got such a
Alex Pascall OBE is a promient muscian, dj & all round wonderful rep for the carribbean community. He use to present on GLR & was one of the first (if not The first radio dj to do so). Found out (from my mum)that my dad had work with him sometime back - even more of a surprise. So it was great to work with him & his family & I hope I get the oppotunity to do some more in the future - that will depend on the prints & how they come out. I'm glad I chased it up, as I wasn't going to but then thought it would be good to take photos of a show, get my hand in & get some experience doing that. It was good if not a little hectic. Meeting Deirdre for lunch on tuesday (cross fingers all is well). I think I will have to get a 200mm lens for the next one though & a flash gun would be great. I like the upfront close up stuff, but not so easy to do for performance stuff like that.
It's been a good week although my back is sore & I'm tired - but hey still got the weekend to come. First SGUK Meet for me & I'm glad I know a few people who are going Bye for now
Much Love S
