O2 Wireless Music Festival Day 2

Firstly I jumped in my car and headed down to the South coast, Bournemouth to be precise.. It was film this today, this time in an ex aircraft hanger at Bournemouth International Airport.. Then at around 4 PM. Back in my car and belted it up to central London.. Find a parking spot near central London's Hyde Park Corner.. Then grab about 3 bags of equipment and leg it to the press entrance for the O2 Wireless Music Festival for day 2.. At least it wasn't raining today...

I had missed the early bands due to my traveling from the south coast. So, the first band up was Roots Manuva.. Very lively band and lively crowd.. I remember photographing them once before in South London and the crowd were very lively then as well. That time I felt I needed an armed guard escorting me to my car.. This time not so bad..














Topping the bill tonight were Basement Jaxx.. They are fantastic.. They came on stage and went for it.. The crowd went mad..

I rushed back to the press room with Jon Gardner my assistant & IT genius. We sent the images out and then as quickly as possible buggered off before the concert ended. Busy day again tomorrow.. Off to Bournemouth early for more in the hangar..
