Adam Ant live shots, 100 Club, London, 27 January 2011

The ever wonderful Adam Ant has been venturing onto the stage at increasingly frequent intervals over the past year in the environs of London town and I was fortunate enough to make it to one of his recent shows at the 100 Club on Oxford Street. With a focus on earlier material, a spirited band of musical conspirators, this was a fine night and Adam Ant, as you can see from the photos I snapped, remains physical… oh so, physical… if perhaps fragile in other respects though – the night did teeter at times on the edge of Adam’s changing mood.

However, if you get a chance to attend a show and have a taste for the earlier Ants material, be there… it’s a must.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) 2010 tour live shots

In something of a departure from the style of previous articles on this blog, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are on tour again at the moment and I managed to see the first night, at Brighton Dome on Friday 29 October 2010. Here are a few shots taken from the balcony during the show and they give a good idea of the elaborate lighting rig for the stage set on this tour. A good set too with a mixture of tracks from the new album plus most of the hits and some nice early surprises such as ‘Bunker Soldiers’.
