Party In The Park [TSG]

Last Sunday was the 96.3 Radio Aire Party In The Park at Temple Newsam.  I was asked along by Radio Aire to photograph for The Sound Gallery.

For me, PITP is a festival flavoured hors d’oeuvres for the Leeds Festival at the end of August.  It’s essentially a pop concert at Temple Newsam park in Leeds for parents and screaming teens to see their fave pop acts. Check out these screaming hormones when X-Factor stars JLF hopped on stage!!  Genius.

Don’t get me wrong, it was ace being in a rock pit again, but these bands were mainly bland boy / girl bands with one or two chart hits under their belts.  Most of them came on, played the hit & their next single to a backing track and did one.

And being and English Summer festival… check out the brolly action!

Beverly Knight was a stand-out performer, and came across amazingly on stage.  She’s a star.

Not 100% who this dude was, but he looks pretty cool!

Dizzie Rascall was also ace.  He’s bonkers.

Here’s a lesson from Beverly & I on how not to take a photograph at an arms length! She was cool.
