Back From The Big City Dirty Pretty Things Last Hurrah, & Peter Doherty Postponed

Curtain Raiser In Rome

The Last Hurrah London

I returned from London last week and celebrated Chritmas at home.

My trip to London was to see/photograph Peter Doherty at the Rhythm Factory which was unfortunately postponed - I hope I can make it to one of the rearranged gigs.

I did make it to see the Last Hurrah - Dirty Pretty Things at Astoria 2 on 20 December.

I posted some photographs on Flickr

The gig to me thankfully seemed short on sentimentality. It was more a large sigh of relief than a tearful farewell. It will be interesting to see what 2009 brings for the band members - I wish them well.

I was at their first gig in Rome some images from the gig are here:

Back From The Carbon Casino 8 & 9

I have returned from two nights at The Carbon Casino to see Carbon Silicon

The lack of light was challenging to photograph I did not use flash and hope I got a few decent results.

They are on Flickr here

If I had to pick one it would be the one above.
