Music On Mass

This weekend just gone, we at Hourglass Promotions put on 2 major shows in Weymouth with some BIG bands and BIG agents. Both events went really well, good times were had all around, and to see so many people with smiling faces because of what we have done was an incredible feeling. Although close to slave labour, working with Hourglass is awesome (if my maths is correct, I worked about 37 unpaid hours over Friday, Saturday and Sunday...? got to the pavilion at 8am on Friday to set up the venue and didn't get home after packing down until 4am, same again on Sunday, except we got back at about 1am) and our new venue looks really cool, so its all worth it :D

 

I cant believe we managed to have so many great bands play in such a small town in one weekend!! So here are a few of them: 

 

Lower Than Atlantis - Deadliest Catch 

Lower Than Atlantis - Far Q 

Mallory Knox - Oceans

Mallory Knox - Resuscitate, live at Weymouth Pavilion 

Max Raptor - Carolina 

These guys, Max Raptor, were my Favourite band of the weekend, really nice guys too!  

Max Raptor - Patron Saint Of Nothing (live acoustic session) 

Your Demise - Burnt Tongues 

Your Demise - Forget About Me

Done And Dusted, Upwards And Onwards

Why have such limitations? 

I like that it's almost infinite, 

The sea doesn't do it for me.

Why have a horizon you'll never reach? 

I say goodbye to the sky. 

The forever flowing hills 

Eddy so dynamically, 

As the sections pour through grids, 

Into ever evolving expanses of foliage forms 

Sprouting from the soil, 

An earthy flesh. 

An ultimate display of power and elegance.

A feminine finesse, 

A masculine might. 

Poised

Like a green haired being. 

A giant, if you will.

My minds eye sees it sprint.

It's been a while since I've posted... well, not that  long, but lots has happened, its been a fast paced month or so. The above pictures are my final pieces for my final major project for college and in part are the results of many late nights (by late nights i mean going to bed in the early hours of the morning) but now college is done and out the way, so i can continue on my own path, doing my own thing!! The final exhibition went well too, my class exhibited with some A level photography students, the privet view was a lot of fun. :)

Ive also entered the real world beyond education by moving out and living with a friend in a town, rather than in the middle of nowhere, which is brilliant! shops within 20 metres instead of 3 miles!! its great :')
