  • [Gig Pics] The Wildhearts @ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms
    • ]]>     Following on from last month, when I was lucky enough to get a photopass for The Wildhearts, I managed to score myself a photopass for yet another of my all time favourite bands.
    I’ve loved Therapy? for as long as I can remember, for example I used to listen to Troublegum on my walkman (cassettes, obv) whilst doing a paper round back when I was at school.
    Also playing on the bill was Ricky Warwick (@rickywarwick) of The Almighty, yet another top top band.

    Stand out tracks from the night for me:

    Ricky Warwick – Wild & Wonderful (orig – The Almighty)
    Ricky Warwick – Jesus Loves You (orig – The Almighty)
    Ricky Warwick – The Arms of Belfast Town
    Therapy? – Stories
    Therapy? – Diane
    Therapy? – Opal Mantra

    The lighting at The Wedgewood Rooms was pretty harsh again, lots of red and green everywhere.  Still, I got a few good pictures which you can see at http://www.mygigpics.com.

    • ]]>     The Wildhearts have long been one of my favourite bands, I’ve been hooked since I first heard Earth Vs The Wildhearts, so I was naturally excited to see them coming to play at my favourite local venue.
    Their current tour is in support of their excellent new album, Chutzpah! which they play in full for the first part of the gig before taking a quick break and then doing a 30 minute greatest hits set.  A really great idea and one that very few bands could pull off.

    I was fortunate enough to win a competition via twitter answering a question posed by Ginger (@gingernyc).  As I already had tickets for the gig, I asked for a photopass in lieu of the actual prize of two tickets to the gig.
    Of course, the gig was amazing and I managed to get some pretty good pics of a great band, with great songs, having a great time.
