    Portishead Play Brixton Academy

    It was great to sample Portishead live, after 11 years out of action for the group. They're far from great to photograph - singer Beth Gibbons has only once stance when singing, which consists of holding the mike close to her face with both hands (see photos below), and when she's not, she tends to turn her back to the crowd to face the rest of the band.
    I stayed to watch the whole gig with a friend after I'd got my all-to-similar shots of the Beth and have to say the their new material sounded impressive live. Old tracks, such as 'Wondering Stars', 'Glory Box' and 'Roads' were stunning.
