Finally, here is another long overdue upload of one the beautiful song by Nikesha Lindo. I love this lady and her songs! Check her out at her website, on Reverbnation and on Facebook and let me know if you feel the same! Also check out the producer of this song Chris Peckings Price here on Facebook.

Busy Signal • Gentleman • Silly Walks

Busy in Hamburg on March 28, 2013! This was my hype from the beginning of the year and nobody I knew was actually sure he would really be able to come! This visit was long overdue after the last album “Reggae Music Again” he had put out in 2012 was a huge hit while he was being held and under examination in the US on charges from many years ago.

So when I saw photos of Busy traveling to Germany on the same plane as Raging Fyah at the beginning of that week I was happy and loaded my camera ready to shoot this event! Unfortunately, I didn’t remember they are very punctual at the venue Fabrik in Hamburg. So I was late for/missed House of Riddim Band backing Perfect Giddimani. I just managed to get one photo of Perfect chilling backstage before they headed off to their next stop.

The place was packed out! Everyone wanted to see Busy perform to the sounds of the High Voltage Band who are Lamont Savory on guitar, Kirk Bennett on drums, Aeion Hoilett on bass and Brenton Mesado on keys from Jamaica. Busy tweeted later: “Germany get flattened!! Hott Ed!!” and I must say, it’s true!

 

There was talk before of a surprise guest before the show and this guest was waiting in the wings watching Busy perform. It turned out to be the one and only true “Germaican”: Gentleman! But before he came on stage Silly Walks Discotheque played such a wicked set including tunes from their latest hit albums “Storms of Life” and the “Honey Pot Riddim” while Gentleman and Busy posed for photos and did some interviews backstage.

Then it was time for Gentleman! This man always brings the crowd to the boil simply by his presence. It was so nice to see him live and direct in a smaller venue. Everyone was enjoying the vibes to a maximum!

Since it was a little difficult to get around the place during the shows I didn’t get to take photos of anyone in the audience until the very end. I had seen so many people I know but I didn’t catch them all on camera. So I hope to see you all this week for the Raging Fyah show!  

Lady Lou

On March 23 and 24 I was invited to photograph a burlesque dance workshop here in Bremen which was organised by Lilla. The instructor was Lady Lou who resides in Berlin where she performs regularly. Her website is LadyLouBurlesque.com where you can find many extraordinary photographs of her in stage dress.

There will be more workshops in Bremen. To find out more check out Burlesque.Bremen on facebook for dates, other information and some more photos of this workshop. I will also post more photos on my facebook page.
