Bell X-1 @Google

The thoroughly excellent Bell X-1 (The band, not the first aircraft to break the speed of sound, although I suppose that too was somewhat excellent) dropped into Google a few months back to play a lunchtime set for Musicians@Google.


By now I hope I'm getting an idea for what makes a good photo, or at least what may look interesting, so I perched myself up at the front row for both the sound check and the gig itself and took a few shots.


After each gig, the organisers of Musicians@Google in Dublin arrange for a picture of the artist to be hung outside the venue, along with a guitar that everyone so far has signed. Since getting 3 band members into one shot was next to impossible, I decided to have a go at making a montage photo out of a single shots of all 3. The outcome, for better or for worse, can be seen below!

The Brown Bread Mixtape

A friend of mine runs a monthly night of themed music, spoken word and performance called the Brown Bread Mixtape. If you have never been, and are of the persuasion that enjoys a FREE night of funnies and sometimes tearys, you should really check it out. After threatening to go to one of the nights for some time, I took the plunge last week for the 'Do you speak my language' night. Much hilarity and entertainment ensued, and I also grabbed a couple of shots.
