Music Photography - My first attempt!

For longer than I remember I have wanted to merge my two loves, music and photography, I've just never known how to get into it. Last week my friend and fellow photographer Dan Donovan contacted me to ask if I fancied going to a gig. His band King Kool where playing along with a few other bands at Mama Liz's - The Voodoo Lounge in Stamford. I Jumped at the chance, a night out, great food, great music and a great chance to have my first go at taking low light band photos.

So first off I have got to say everyone needs to check out Mama Liz's... AWESOME food!!! and what can I say about The Voodoo Lounge... what a cool little intimate music venue, the music sounded amazing!

The bands were great I am definitely going to be checking them out more, I have put links under the pics, so check these guys out!

Anyway here are some of the pics I took. Please remember these were my first try, I was quite nervous about where I could and couldn't be and didn't want to get in the way, but they are a start. I can't wait to try more!
