Live music is a world away from listening to a CD player or even a DJ. The best gigs are at small venues, where you can get close, almost within touching distance of the artists. There are many talented unknown musicians who are only just managing to make a living. Their devotion and passion for communication through music is infectious.
Most of these photographs were taken at the Jazz and Roots club at the Buttermarket in Shrewsbury, one of the most respected world music venues in the UK. For information and a programme of events visit the Jazz and Roots website. |
