Seasick Steve Plays The Royal Albert Hall

There's was more than a hint of surprise in most people's reaction when they heard blues man Seasick Steve was playing the Royal Albert Hall. Especially when you consider the former migrant worker used to travel long distances by hopping freights as a hobo and lived in 56 different houses in the 25 years of marriage with his Norwegian wife.
His break in the UK came when, as an unknown musician, he made his television debut on Jools Holland's 'Annual Hootenanny' BBC TV show, after which his popularity grew extensively. Now, upon releasing his third album, he finds himself performing at the grand, world famous, Royal Albert Hall in his biggest gig to date in the UK.
The Royal Albert Hall is situated in South Kensington, which has come a bit of a second home to me recently, what with London Fashion Week being based here and the two gigs I covered here last week.
And Seasick immediately seemed at home playing to such a large crowd, coming onto stage playing a moving version of 'Amazing Grace'.
I tried out a new body today, the Nikon D300, which I plan to use for gigs because of it's capabilities in low light. It worked fine here, but it'll really come into it's own when the stage lighting is poor.
