LEICESTER SQUARE THEATRE: LONDON. 8-6-13.
Oh what a night!
On a balmy June eve in the heart of Londons theatreland, the faithful gathered from all over the globe to witness a show celebrating the 10th anniversary of The Urban Voodoo Machine.
In a grand old fleapit of a theatre, (they're the best kind you know) formerly the Notre dame hall, scene of many a vintage punk rock escapade, The Urban Voodoo Machine put on what must be for them, the performance of their lives!
A large stage, gave the band total freedom of movement, a fantastic lighting rig gave me the opportunity to loose off a few half decent shots & bourbon in abundance gave these boys & girls just the right amount of swagger & confidence to entertain us like never before.
Two spots they played, over two hours of bourbon soaked, gypsy blues bop & stroll! One costume change & more special guests than you can wave a shitty stick at; why, something as pleasurable as this is usually deemed to be illegal!
No long winded reviews here today, just a bunch of snaps from the lens of my trusty Leica. I do hope you dig 'em enough to nick, nab & snaffle a few for whatever dodgy purpose you so require. If you do, please leave a namecheck for your old mate Flash.
My dears, I'll leave you with the quote of the evening from bandleader, Mr Paul Ronney Angel; "Hey, did any of you people in here see us ten years ago in our first year?" When a handful of lairy punters responded that they had....... "You fucking liars" quoth he "there was only 3 people saw us in our first year" Priceless!!
2nd SPOT
Bloody hell, if you've got as far as this little piece of text then I can only offer you my thanks & salutations for your diligence & strength of character in seeing something through to the bitter end.
