A couple of photos from a #spiritofjack gig that JMG and I attended recently at The Macbeth, Hoxton. The place was jammed to the rafters with Kele Okereke fans supping  Jack Daniel’s cocktails and dancing to tracks from Kele’s new album Trick.

I bought myself and JMG a JD and coke and then listened as Kele performed a few tracks. We’re both fans of Bloc Party from our uni days spent partying in Birmingham to hits like Banquet, Helicopter and Flux. It kind of made me a bit nostalgic - hearing a voice that is so familiar singing (as yet) unrecognisable lyrics. The crowd loved it though.

I was really impressed with how my new Canon 5D MKIII DSLR camera and 50mm f1.4 lens handled the low lighting conditions at the gig. It was a definite improvement on the Canon 5D MKII model I had previously.

I’m looking forward to getting to grips with the new camera features and seeing how it responds to a lifestyle bloggers demanding schedule…

Watch this space.
