Well as some of you know, I once did some shots of a family band called Beardsmith. Well no thanks to my shots, or anything I did, they were on GMTV this morning for about 5 seconds. It was the trailer for the "No1 Family" contest they are running, to find the most talented family, and give them a recording contract.

Just think, in years to come I can say "I once stood in a mucky pub in Wakefield, taking photos of this band" (if they make it) :lol:

Am I famous by association, or do you think the connection is a little weak :lol:

Good work Chris!

As someone who tried this for the NCFE course I know how blimmin difficult it is to do gig togging.The lights change all the time and the people move etc and you cant use flash.-Well when I along with some of my class mates did the bands for babes gig at the Soundhouse in Bolton we were told not to use flash on pain of death or a mike stand being rammed up our (censored)-so you have to use good shutter speeds and higher Isos. I think this is a pretty good group of shots and if your togging in any way helped them then thats gotta be good innit?

One step closer to fame by association (AKA I was once in a mucky pub with them with a camera :lol:

They are much better when doing some of the rock stuff. Lad at the back with long hair does a great version of this tune:

Videos of them on youtube don't do them justice really.
