Following on from Yesterday’s post, here’s part two of our end of year top 25:
20 : George Bloomfield / Just don’t feel the same (from Now & Then album)
19: Projector / It Surely Has Been Hell (from Contempt album)
18: Helen Ganya / Share Your Care (from Show Your Care album)
17: Welly / It’s not like this in France (from Big in the Suburbs album)
16: Lemonsuckr / H.E.A.T. (single)
On Tuesday night, George Bloomfield launched his new album Now & Then at Alphabet with a full eight piece band, supported by Soft Top (who also had a cast of thousands on stage). George and his band played the album roughly in order, with a few non-album tracks tucked in the middle. In lieu of an encore the closed with Space Between which came out a couple of years ago.
We were down the front with our camera to catch the action (click through to view large):
It feels like an age ago now, but I’ve finally got my photos band and edited from Great Escape weekend. I did my best to try and see a lot of Brighton bands at both official and unoffial gigs – in the end I caught multiple sets from a few bands from some of my favourites, because why not? Anyway, here’s one photo from each set by a Brighton band I went to where I could get close enough to the front, and where the light was good enough to shoot on film (on which note, please could someone have a word with Pink Moon and ask them to buy some lights?)
