Mardi Gras in Manchester!





Last night I was again thrown into Mardi Gras mode and got to shoot at another one of the SoCo Social Mardi Gras parties, this time up at The Dry Bar in Manchester. Hot 8 Brass Band were on top form like the last gig in London.. It was rammed, and with so many people in the building the heat levels, combined with my hectic shooting style led to sweat, sweat and more sweat! This feeling and intimacy within the crowd actually reminded me of basement gigs over in New Orleans, good times…













I got some great shots of the Hot 8 and audience who carried on partying to the delights of James Lavelle… The SoCo nights keep getting better and better! Looking forward to the third in the trilogy of this years SoCo Mardi Gras events, with Hot 8 up in Glasgow next Friday! You can still apply for tickets, check the SoCo site for more!
