It doesn't work having photographs behind the artist; it's impersonal and threatening. A stylish backdrop would do the trick- Wild West red velvet drapes perhaps. The lighting (and the background colour in general) seems blue. When I was touring in the 1970s and 1980s we never let anyone light us in blue- it's cold and harsh. The colour to use is a gel called straw, which makes any skin colour look good.<br />Finally, when you walk out of the venue, you hear another artist playing in the room across the way. This makes the whole thing seem desperate.<br />That's probably a lot more detail than you wanted! But I'm an artist as well as a punter which is why I write about the venues and promoters as well as the music.Helen McCookerybookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997428723795124462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17510864.post-84629076320205699812010-07-05T19:57:55.154+01:002010-07-05T19:57:55.154+01:00Helen, Always want to know why people dont enjoy t...Helen, Always want to know why people dont enjoy themselves at proud... how was it "conveyor" belt like, how could we make it better? thanks...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089408703707242967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17510864.post-58144820699713783712010-07-05T19:34:39.143+01:002010-07-05T19:34:39.143+01:00We'll get Tracy (Hey Harriet/shadow shot Sunda...We'll get Tracy (Hey Harriet/shadow shot Sunday) to duff up your obnoxious man when he goes back to Brisbane!!<br />ps - you could copy the Corries - if anyone disturbed their performance, they would walk to the front of the stage and tell them off!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
