After a few months of not going to see live gigs due to it being to much on my anxiety, i decided to to come out of my comfort zone, as i missed it the the thrill and excitement but also taking photography of the performers (:
On Saturday 5th August 2017 I went to see Mouse Trap, Mummy And Jasper Cain At Castle Gate In Grantham My friend Trevor Bunn was Hosting it, Whenever he is around at the gigs i feel much better about going because i know someone there, and also even if we do not talk a lot i just feel more safe and happy with him being there (:
Mouse Trap was up first so as always i made sure to be up front, to not only get the best surroundings for listening to music but to capture photography (:
These Guys were amazing, again my eyes and ears were focused more on the drums, haha Thats just me i like all of a song but seem to find myself often tapping away to the beat.
You have heard of battle of the bands but in this case it was battle of the photographers !!!
You can see my camera in the corner, then you have Annie Gascoyne also know as Alternative Annie
She is a photographer but also write Blog posts, you can find out more about her here (:

here is a few of her pictures she took of the night (:
You then Had Trevor behind Taking photography as well, and all i could see at the side of me was them laughing at each other as they had to battle with who was going to get the best shots haha
The next band blew my mind away, and was the highlight of the night for me.
That is of course Mummy, also known as we are your mummy.
Every song just seem to be better then the last, The drummer was epic, The lead vocalist Frank has some incredible Tattoos as you can see from the Picture at the start of this blog.
I do not think i have ever seen a man, pour his soul so much into the microphone, as well as doing some great head banding and a moment i wished i had captured on camera.
Luckily enough Trevor got that golden shot haha
I noticed the cool pedals on the floor you can see next to him, i did try to capture these but the photo did not turn out great.
From the amazing drum parts, to the passionate Vocalist you would think that was it but then you had the earth cracking, rib crunching bass, rumbling through your whole body, it was insane.
words of last 2 songs came out of their mouths and i really did not want it to end.
A sure way to end a night on a high is to play a track, that people will remember and to really give it everything you have got.
A nearly 10 Minute song, which Inc a lot of Drops all at once, The music just made you speechless, and i found myself now head banding to it, and just wanting to jump up and down.
You really get a totally different experience when you watch bands play live, you get to live the moment, feel the vibes run through your bones, here tracks that are upcoming and never been heard else where, remixes etc.
I just loved the reaction of this dude, like he is saying Guys.... I can see a mummy !!!!
I can tell you after that long song, the adrenaline i felt was amazing, they finished with a killer last song as well, My overall opinion i think these guys killed it they showed what Grantham is all about,
They showed how to rock a stage, and to say I do not normally listen to their genre of music, it was like i had fallen in love and listen to them play for years.
They opened my heart to their style of music, I can not say everytime i see a band play oh they were the best band i have ever seen.
I think its hard to choose your Fav band, Thats why the bands that have been coming to Grantham not just at castle Gate but other venues, its just been a good selection of different music, from acoustic, heavy metal, rock and much more.
CJ Hatt Rocks the acoustic style, but Mummy rocks well i would not call it Heavy Metal so lets say the rock section haha !!!
It was around 10 pm and i Realized when i got home after looking on social media I had left before seeing Jasper Cain, Although i was gutted, in another way i felt it was the right time to leave,
My heart was Racing, and I could hardly hear due to being so close to the speakers !!!
so here is a picture From Trevor (:
It would be Great to see this band one day but also it would be killer to hear The Mummy again !!!!
Overall, it was a great night of music, I really enjoyed myself, and i was really glad to have gone along, as it cant always been done but sometimes you need to put yourself in that position where you might not like being there but once you Focus on just listening to the music, you will feel much better, if i did not go i would not of been able to find new music, have my heart racing, and Capure some great photography of the bands (:
So Thank you to all the bands that came To Grantham, I really hope, More Talent comes to Grantham or is even fount in good old G town !!!!!!!!
