Olly Willis of The Epstein, The Mad Hatter, Oxford
A triple billing at The Mad Hatter, Oxford, sponsored by The Catweazle Club and Tamara T-Bone Parsons-Baker, last Wednesday, 9 April 2014. The line-up for the night was Tamara and the Martyrs, Art Theefe, and The Epstein. A fantastic show by all three bands and a comfortable, intimate venue.
As to photography, well, if only that could have gone as well as the music. I had just finished my first roll of film with the end of Tamara's opening act, and Art Theefe was preparing for their set. I went to wind off the roll, and my film advance locked. I spent the next half-hour trying to free it, with no success, but with great entertainment. Ultimately, I had to remove the film at home later inside a light-tight bag, and that had put an end to the photography for the night. Instead I did something at a concert which I haven't done in years. I just sat and listened.
I must have been significantly distracted by the camera and the show, because I left the pub without my light meter. Thanks, Henry, for finding that for me.
