Folds
Ben Folds made another trip to Glasgow today and for the third time in a row, I was there. This time he was at the Carling Academy, a big old theatre where me and Andrea had seats at the front of the lower balcony. In what is fast becoming a running theme for each of his performances, he was completely awesome in almost every way. Clearly him and the band were enjoying themselves, there was a real sense of playfulness from Ben, especially on his little red synth which he actually broke the key off right at the start. Hopefully the kind of sounds he was able to get from that find themselves into the next album, because I’d really like to hear a good 70’s style synth song from him.
I put together a montage video of the footage I managed to take and put it up on YouTube, which turned out not bad. It’s just taken with my Fuji F30 camera, so it did a pretty good job dealing with the darkness and loud noise, when I tried using my Sony at the last gig the microphone was just completely overawed by the volume.
