A man with short dark hair and beard, wearing a green t-shirt and a grey pair of cargo pants, playing a bright green 5-stringed bass guitar. His right wrist is covered in an array of beaded bracelet, while his right forearm has a tattoo of a red love heart with a large knife through it. His left forearm has a black tattoo which is partially hidden behind the neck of the bass. He is slightly hunched over, looking down at his left hand. In the background, an orange pole fills the right of the frame, glistening wetly, with a visceral, organic appearance, with black walls and ceiling filling the rest of the frame.

A low shot of a man with a shaved head and a short goatee beard, wearing a black vest top that exposes his heavily tattooed arms, and a blue pair of trousers, performing on stage as part of a rock band. He is holding a microphone in his right hand, the index finger on that hand pointing upwards as he stares into the distance. A large, grey cloth-covered stage speaker is at the side of the stage off to his right, while black walls and ceiling fill the background.

Right, I’m Off…

…for a week in Blackpool.

4 members of a heavy metal band on stage. On the left, at the back, is a man with long blond hair wearing a dark shirt and playing a black electric guitar, his head bent downwards. In the middle, at the front of the stage, is a man with long dark hair with a moustache and the beginnings of a beard, his bare chest covered with tattoos, and wearing a dirty pair of blue jean, holding a microphone in his right hand, his arms stretched out to the side in supplication. In the middle, towards the back of the stage, is a man with long dark hair, wearing a sleeveless black shirt, and holding the neck of a bass guitar in his left hand, his right hand holding a can, pouring it's contents down his raised throat. On the right is a man with long dark hair and a wispy beard, wearing a red and black checked jacket, playing a black electric guitar and staring across to the left of the frame. The left and right sides of the stage are lit blue by the stage lights, with most of it flooded with green light, and heavily over-exposed white lights mostly pointing in the general direction of down. In the foreground, the backs of the audiences heads can be seen, various band hoodies or checked shirts being common forms of attire.

Low, close-up, side view of a man performing on a stage, facing to the left. He has short dark hair, and wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. His hands are reaching out of the frame to the left. A long exposure and his movement create red and orange streaks of light and secondary images, with a black background.

Close-up of a man with short, spikey blond hair, with a red patch right at the front, snarling into a microphone in front of him, his mouth wide open and his eyes partially closed. He has a white-ish beaded necklace round his neck, and is wearing a black t-shirt. A black guitar strap slung over his left shoulder has a row of metal badges - black with a skeletal white face, yellow smiley face, red with a white skull and crossbones, black badge with a red cross and red and white text around the edges, green background with the side of a persons face, black with an anti-littering logo of a person throwing a swastika into a bin. Black walls and ceiling fill the rest of the frame.

A man with floppy, shoulder-length blond hair, wearing a black t-shirt with faded white text filling the front, and a blue pair of jeans, playing a red electric guitar. An orange pole stretches from floor to ceiling behind him, painted to look sticky and organic and visceral, with some people beyond that, with dark coloured walls behind them. A long exposure and his movement have created red and orange streaks of light and secondary images.

Four of the five members of a band putting on a rather energetic performance on a stage. On the left is a fairly short young man with dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt with a white "The Idiot Rate" logo emblazoned across the chest, and playing a black electric guitar. In the middle is a man with short dark hair, weaing a plain black t-shirt and abeige pair of knee-length shorts, playing a brown electric guitar, with a look of surprise on his face. On the right is the bands singer, with short dark hair, wearing a black t-shirt with a white and red logo featuring a skull, dragons, and a pegasus, on the front. He is holding a microphone in his left hand, and is conspicuously not singing into it right now, but that is all about to change. Behind him is a tall man with shaggy brown hair and a brown beard, wearing a grey t-shirt, and playing a bass guitar. Orange and brown walls almost look golden in the yellow room lights, with red curtains hangin loose on some of the walls. Stacks of amps and monitors line some of the walls behind the band. A long exposure combines with the bands movement to create streaks of red light around them, along with secondary images through which the background can be seen.

A man with spiky, short, dark hair, and wearing a black vest and dark jeans, playing an orange electric guitar, and looking somewhat tired as he stares at a microphone on a stand in front of him. A black and yellow stripe marks a low ceiling on an alcove behind him, with yellow lights in the alcove illuminating a couple of patches on walls and floor, the rest hidden in darkness.
