Went to the 'Hobble on the Cobbles' in Aylesbury today, which is essentially a free mini festival in the centre of town, this year headlined by Kajagoogoo! Managed to blag myself and my cousin backstage access which made some of these shots a bit easier.

First time shooting something like this, all these using the (yes I still have it but not sure how!) pre-production K-7 & DA* 60-250, with ISOs ranging from 800-1600.

PS there was a fellow Pentaxian on the front row, are you on here!?

I was sure this was next weekend!

I normally enjoy Hobble On The Cobbles - can't believe I got my dates wrong.

Nice shots though.

Great set! You've captured some unique expressions and they're nice and sharp.

Good set particularly No3, presumably as your K7 is pre-production they will not want it back, after all it cannot be sold, in fact they should pay you to keep it, dont you think
K5 + 8mm-500mm zooms and primes
Please feel free to play with any images I post.

#8 - a Chapman Stick, that's an instrument you don't see very often, anyone else into music?

Great pics and I'll refrain from the old "it hurts when you Kagagoogoo's....."

Great shots Love the first one especially - but not so keen on the blown out spotlights on the edge of his face.

PS The singer and the bass player are looking pretty rough. Still living the rock and roll lifestyle no doubt!

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated.

Being in the 'press pit' certainly helped get these, but it was hard work as we only had 2 songs before being told to move on, but hey, I guess that's rock'n'roll!

Sounds good to me! If they leave it any longer, who knows, they may even forget about it!

(But I'm sure Chris won't! )

Well done, some great shots worthy of being printed in the music press.

I don't think they look too rough, they must be well into their 40's?

Spoken like a young man I'm almost 40 and I hope I don't look a tenth as haggard as those guys
