Images of Plan B Live in Brighton 2011
- 1. IMAGES OF PLAN B LIVE IN BRIGHTON ! gary marlowe IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY MARCH 2011
- 2. IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY FRESH FROM HIS TRIUMPH AT THE BRITS WHERE HE WON ‘BEST BRITISH MALE’, BEN DREW AKA PLAN B, BROUGHT HIS ‘DEFAMATION OF STRICKLAND BANKS’ SHOW TO A PACKED BRIGHTON CENTRE - THE PENULTIMATE DATE OF HIS UK TOUR. NOT THE MOST CHARISMATIC OF INDIVIDUALS, PLAN B MAKES FOR AN UNLIKELY FRONT MAN. CONSERVATIVELY SUITED AND BOOTED, HE LOOKS MORE LIKE A CITY WORKER THAN A POP STAR. WHILST HIS VOCAL TALENT IS UNDENIABLE, THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID OF HIS STAGECRAFT OR HIS ABILITY TO HOLD AN AUDIENCE FOR A FULL-LENGTH SHOW. WHILST THE FOCUS WAS OF COURSE ON THE STRICKLAND BANKS ALBUM, THE NEED TO RESORT TO A MEDLEY OF SOUL CLASSICS AND A PAULO NUTINI COVER HIGHLIGHTED THE LACK OF MATERIAL IN HIS REPERTOIRE. TO BE HONEST, THIS WAS A SHOW THAT WOULD HAVE SUITED A MORE INTIMATE VENUE THAN THE BRIGHTON CENTRE AND COULD CERTAINLY HAVE BENEFITED FROM BETTER LIGHTING, ESPECIALLY A FOLLOW SPOT AND A MORE OUTGOING PERFORMANCE. THAT SAID, THE CROWD SEEMED TO LOVE HIM AND SANG ALONG TO ALL THE BIG HITS. BUT WHAT THE SHOW LACKED WAS SUBTLETY - HIS 5-PIECE BAND WERE RAUCOUS AND THE SOUND AS LOUD AS I’VE HEARD IN A LONG WHILE. THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE SHOWS WHERE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO SHOOT FROM THE BACK OF THE HALL, RATHER THAN THE PIT, BUT THAT WASN’T ALLOWED. AS A RESULT, THERE WASN’T MUCH SCOPE TO CAPTURE THE SCREEN PROJECTIONS AND THERE WAS HARDLY ANY LIGHTING CHANGES DURING THE THREE SONGS I WAS ALLOWED. IN THE END, YOU CAN ONLY SHOOT WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU AND I CAN’T SAY I’M THAT EXCITED WITH THIS SET OF IMAGES. I ALSO EXPERIMENTED WITH SOME DIFFERENT SETTINGS, INCLUDING WHACKING UP THE ISO, WHICH I DON’T THINK HELPED.
