Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Birmingham Genting Arena

I would love to see Oasis live, they're one of those bands that as soon as you hear a song it takes you back in time and you know every word. We'll keep wishing for that one to happen, but in the meantime I really grown to like Noel Gallagher's stuff, so I had to apply to shoot a show.
Sadly as it was an arena tour (I shot at Birmingham's Genting Arena), I didn't get to stay after shooting, so after driving 125 miles to get to the venue I enjoyed as much of the first three as I could.

I have always loved music and going to gigs, and photography and live music really do make the perfect combination when I get to shoot shows and see some of my favourite bands. Over the last few years I've gone from shooting tiny local shows in Birmingham to photographing some massive bands at Sonisphere & Leeds festival and even Linkin Park at the O2 Arena. Sometimes it's nice to go back to those smaller venues, and while the lighting for the most part can be pretty tricky to shoot in, it's nice to see some different bands and different music.

Gigster Promotions asked me to shoot the launch of a new music event at O'Neils on Broad Street in Birmingham. Here's just a few shots from the evening...
