ABOUT THESE IMAGES
THIRTY YEARS AFTER THEY ORIGINALLY SPLIT UP, LEGENDARY RUDE BOYS THE SPECIALS PLAYED A SELL OUT
GIG AT THE BRIGHTON CENTRE. FAMOUS FOR HITS LIKE ‘GHOST TOWN’ AND ‘TOO MUCH TOO YOUNG’ THEY PUT
ON A NOSTALGIA LADEN SHOW AND SOUNDED GREAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR LIGHTING MEANT THEY WERE
EXTREMELY CHALLENGING TO SHOOT. THE BACKDROP WAS FLOODLIGHT BRIGHT, WHILST THE BAND
MEMBERS ALL WORE BLACK AND WERE DIMLY LIT. ADD TO THAT, A BANK OF MONITORS AND FANS ON THE
EDGE OF THE STAGE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET ANYONE IN FULL FRAME. PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE ONLY
GIVEN THE FIRST THREE SONGS TO SHOOT AND WITH THE SPECIALS THAT DIDN’T LAST LONG. IN FACT,
CHECKING MY METADATA I HAD JUST 4 MINUTES AND 42 SECONDS TO GET MY SHOTS! WHILST THEY’RE NOT
SOME OF MY BEST, I DO THINK THE IMAGES CAPTURE THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE GIG.
