The Pogues
December 2009 saw The Pogues play Brixton Academy and I was lucky enough to get a photo pass through Spider Stacey who I met on Holiday in Norway this year. Thank you Spider and Louise.
At these larger gigs you take photos from the pit, the small space between the stage and the crowd. The rules are usually first three songs with no flash, then all the photographers get escorted out of the main stage and to an office. I guess usually the photographers then leave but I wanted to see the show too. So I had to leave my cameras in the office. It took the staff about ten minutes to convince me my cameras would be safe and then I finally got to see the show. Cracking night. Click for larger pics.
