Photos of the 2009 Spring Tour

I've got a few photos of the Bournemouth gig - I'll post them here once I've uploaded them.

Should I post them in this thread or put them under the Bournemouth gig thread? Or both? I think it will be nice to have all the Spring Tour pics in one place, but on the other hand ....

Please bear with me while I attempt to embed pics on this forum!

Cheers

Steve

Guy Garvey bantered freely with the Bournemouth audience ... even during the songs. He delivered an object lesson in how to engage an audience.


Please post your Spring Tour photos here!

Starlings - The strings, the horns and the blaze of white light.

No prizes for guessing which song this is...

Wow you were really close, amazing pictures. I took quite a few (I may have annoyed some of the people around me, "sorry"), one is my avatar, but the quality of my camera is terrible. Also is the picture of Guy the story of the robot girls?

You were close - and central too. Your avatar shot is nicely captured. Have you tried tweaking the brightness - I'm sure you could bring it 'up' a notch. I should say that some of mine are quite dark too.

We were to the left in front of Craig "the Keys" and about three rows back from the rail. It was a difficult gig to photograph because of the subdued lighting and low stage. On the other hand I was quite pleased with the ones that came out.

To answer your question about the Guy picture - I don't know. Although was taken at about 9.40 (probably before Mexican Standoff). When did Guy do the robot story?

Thank you!

I'll post another photo once someone names the song AND supplies the best* answer to this question:

What Guy is doing?

* Best defined as "most humerus" ;-)

mirrorball of course,
i have a bit of a problem here because i can't find his head.. looks like it's decapitated

Don't know how successful this will be and i'm not clever enough to upload direct to this forum, but here are some pics i took in Sheffield:-

Nice photos Steve - difficult to achieve in poor lighting.

Has he got his binoculars doing a bit of bird spotting, or has he got his head in his hands in desperation when he realises he has one very thin leg.

Thanks. I will probably use Photoshop to brighten it up. I was three rows from the rail too, in front of Guy. I was a tad annoyed that I didn't really get any pictures of the boys (well the odd one of Craig and Pete.) I did get some great videos though. I'm not sure when he told the story, but his pose suggests that the picture is from then.

Love the photos - thanks for posting! Though I am green with envy and wishing I was on that side of the pond to catch some of these gigs...
