Quote from: "Ash"The Peel is not priced like central London venues or worse still *shudder* 02 or Wembley prices.  For Londoners it seems cheap.  I would guess Northerners may find it expensive.

Nah, it's expensive up here, too.  :(

right, just trying to get someone to pick up the kids from school (last day of term and all that) and watch them until their dad gets back from gigging at around 1:30 am!!!  Iz and I have our hotel booked and are planning on xmas shopping. You all better be nice to her. It's her first proper grown up gig (ok so most of you dont qualify as grown ups but you know what i mean!)  :D

Most of us?

I'm sure she'll have the loveliest of times and what a gig to be her first "proper grown up gig". She'll be amongst some of the most welcoming people I know :)

Ugh. Horrible memories. Last time I went to the O2, it cost me £8 for a double. It was like being punched in the wallet.

Quote from: "DueyC"Speaking of picking up...

I'll be driving there from Reading, and back afterwards (post-curry, if it happens). I have one spare seat in my car, if anyone would like a lift.

Spare seat now taken  :)

Have hired a 50mm f1.2 lens for this gig as the lighting in the peel can be a bit on the dark side sometimes, got it for the weekend so that I can try our the lens for some video stuff to :)

Hmmm, there's a thought: renting a lens. My 18-200mm lens for my D7000 is currently back at Nikon for repairs after the zoom ring became, err, very stuck, and I'm not sure of getting it back in time for The Peel.

Despite it being only f/3.5 to f/5-ish at best, the D7000's rather excellent low-light level performance means that the combo's not half bad for concert pictures, at least by my standards. I used the pair at ISO1600-3200 at the Arena concert at De Boerderij recently, as I posted in another thread here ...

OK, an f/1.2-1.8 would be nice for the limited DOF and bokeh, but I've been trying in vain to get a hold of the AF-D f/1.8 85mm Nikkor lens from my local (best price) supplier here for a a month or more: as they're made in Thailand, supplies have dried up (if you'll pardon the inverse pun).

On the other hand, since I'm sure there'll be plenty of photogs at The Peel, p'raps I should spare myself the bother and listen instead ...  ;)

More gig news

Quote from: "@planetFrost"This It Bites/Frost* gig might be happening after all... If it does, I hope we really can play The Scala. I love that venue.

don't tell anyone though its supposed to be a secret ;)
