Yesterday I photographed Lúnasa's (Irish instrumental acoustic band) performance at Leicester Grammar School. Unlike the Dervish performance last year, I had a working external flash (previously the flash batteries leaked when I was setting up). Consequently, the majority of photographs were sharp and in focus (though a bit noisy), even when handheld!
Unlike with Dervish, where I shot from the side, I got to good angles, one at the top, centre aisle, the other sitting in the front row, centre aisle (as there was an intermission, I shot half at one angle, half at the other).

| First angle towering over the audience |

| The lighting was an interesting combination of purple from the left, gold from the right, beautifully demonstrated in this photo. |

| Action shot as, being folk artists, could get quite animated |

| Example of the sharp photographs despite dark, concert conditions. |
 |
| While not seamless, this arrangement of two photographs allows you to see Lúnasa and all the Leicester Grammar School students in one. |
 |
| The Irish (Bag) Pipes (relative to the better know Scottish Bag Pipes) were popular, not least for being more unusual. |
 |
| Encore where Ed Boyd (guitarist) jumped off a chair in true rock fashion (despite being folk artists) |
