The Horrors front man Faris Badwan
St Philips Church, Salford
On Monday night Jill Coleman (Visonthing64) Charlotte Davies and myself went to St Philips Church to photograph and review the new band formed by The Horrors frontman Faris Badwan.
On arriving at the church, as always we checked out the venue and asked the Tour Manager about areas for shooting and so on. The only stipulation was that we were not to block to projected light coming from the front of the stage.
t was pretty dark and we couldn't see any lighting rigged out above us, so assumed that somewhere someone would produce some light, enough to take some decent pictures. They didn't, and it was literally pitch black. After shooting the first three songs from the front of the stage we decided to climb the small wonky staircase to the balcony to see if we could get any better shots.
It wasn't any better and to make things worse you couldn't even see in front of your hand, we might as well have been blindfolded.
We took some shots from the back in the hope that something from the many hundreds we took, at least one might be half decent.
