Backstage Pass
Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
9th March 2000

Photopass for The Wanndies gig at the MDH (Academy 2) in March 2000. I went to this show mainly to see Soulwax who were supporting but I took some pictures of The Wannadies too. When I was stood waiting in the pit for a band to come on stage I would occasionally take a picture of the front row (usually if some of the audience had started talking to me) but I didn’t always do this because in those days I used film, was reasonably skint and liked to save my precious shots for the bands. It’s a shame I didn’t take an audience shot that night because standing right behind me was a 16 year old Liam Frost who has subsequently told me that he was at the very front of the gig and that Par spoke to him from the stage. Since he told me that I now always take a picture of the audience because you never know who you might end up meeting in the future.
