Low-down shot of a woman with brown hair cut in a bob and wearing a black and white flower-print top and black and white stripey skirt, holding a microphone in her right hand and looking off to her left. She is slightly off-centre, on the left of the image. Behind her and to her right is a man with long, curly dark hair and wearing an open-necked white shirt, sitting behind a drum kit. On the right of the frame is a man with dark, chin-length brown hair and a brown beard, wearing a checked white shirt and black jeans, playing a green bass guitar. The walls and ceiling behind them are almost entirely black, with a bright light shining in the top left corner.Long exposure shot of a woman wearing a black top and skirt with red highlights, playing an electric guitar. A flash has been used to freeze her in space, and swirls of red light show where she has moved afterwards. Discrete points of light in the darkness behind her head have turned into white streaks.
