With no weddings to shoot this weekend I took a rare opportunity to take my cameras along to shoot a couple of my favourite bands. I love photographing live music events, and I’m lucky enough to Live in Burton on Trent now, which has a thriving music scene.
Silicone Taxis were on at the Wetmore whistle for an afternoon set so I headed there first. I always enjoy these guys, stunning musicians with years of experience between them and they cover some fabulous music from Beatles to Paloma Faith taking in Stevie Wonder and my favourite new addition to their set one day like this by Elbow. Today as usual the guys soon had the place mesmerised.
Russell then introduced a singer who was new to me, but she performed a very entertaining set, mostly self accompanied. A young lady by the name of Maisie Gibson. Looking nervous at first she soon found her stride and played some terrific music, including covers of Jessie J, Adele, Amy Winehouse etc. Very impressive and with a real stage presence. I particularly enjoyed someone like you by Adele with Lorrienne backing her on keyboards. I’d certainly go out of my way to catch her again.
Afterwards I went along to the Roebuck for Lost Cause’s evening set. I’d never seen this band before either, but they had a packed house rocking around in no time with some fabulous Classic rock numbers, played with aplomb. The Roebuck has some great people in there on a Sunday evening and the atmosphere was terrific as you can see by some of the crowd pictures.
Since I moved into the Town a couple of months back I’ve really enjoyed the local music scene, there are some terrific local bands and venues, and stacks of talent and support for it!
Get to see any of these acts and you won’t be dissapointed. ![]()
