A view from the side of a stage. 3 men lined up side by side at the front of a stage, all playing guitars, the furthest 2 singing into microphones on stands in front of them. Nearest the camera, on the left, is a man with brown hair and beard, wearing a leather jacket and faded dark blue jeans, playing a red electric guitar. In the middle is a man with very close cropped dark hair and beard, wearing a denim shirt and pants, , playing a brown and white electric guitar, his eyes closed as he sings. Last is a man with curly brown hair, wearing a leather jacket over an open denim shirt over a black t-shirt, as well as dark blue jeans, playing a brown acoustic guitar and singing, with his eyes shut as well. In the bottom right corner of the frame, a red electric guitar sits against a monitor speaker. The walls are black, with dirty grey ceilings, and a light at the back of the stage shining almost directly into the camera. There is some movement in the frame, from the slightly longer-than-usual exposure used.

I came out of retirement because an old friends new band was coming to town, and, well – I just had to!
I had known Ben for a decade at this point, and became friendly with Iain when he was the roadie for one of Ben’s previous bands.
