Teenage Fanclub in Islington

Last night I had a great time at London Islington Assembly Hall enjoying both new songs and old performed by Norman Blake (singer/guitarist), Gerard Love (bass), Dave MacGowan (keyboards and guitar), Francis MacDonald (drums), and Raymond McGinley (lead guitar). Here are a few photos I took - you'll notice some of my snaps have a Gerhard Richter quality about them.
