Really good shots, Mark. You caught the atmosphere well. Are they a Motorhead tribute act?

No mate they are an originals band, just heavily influenced by motorhead

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a fine set. You have caught the atmosphere and the sense of movement and energy well.

Lov the bold color palette - really brings a great sense of stage

Did they give you access, or did you just shoot from the crowd?

Thank you.

It was a local venue who leave it up to the bands if they allow people in with cameras so i messaged the band asking if they minded and they were happy for me to do so.

Super set, Mark and full of atmosphere I think. Love the second shot (and I'm sure the drummer will too). The last one is fabulous too.
