Peter Fairman's Pictures from 2014 January/April
One of the joys of the club is that customers help. Peter Fairman attends most gigs, and discreetly takes flashless photographs.
We have used them on our Facebook page, but we thought that it would be good to start a
chronicle of pictures for each gig.

John Law's Boink! 28 February 2014 The use of projected visuals meant that poor Peter Fairman was photographing under exctremely dark conditions. You can't see the visuals in motion in a still. The music was new, amazing in places, and always interesting, and the visuals held the attention. |
