Loaded in the Park - London

There is a kind of new event in Clapham, South London called Get Loaded in The Park. I am not entirley sure, but, i think that this is the second year. But I am probably wrong. Anyway, today, Lily Allen was here, Graham Coxon, and Babyshambles. Peter Doherty has been confined to regab for the past week or so and this will be is big day out. I did a quick photo or twi with Graham Coxon and we chatted about his love of okd mechanical cameras. I was kind of suprised when he told me that he had a few Leica camera's. For those who know, they are quite nice cameras. Anyway, what a throroughly nice fellow he is.

Anyway, Adam, Drew & Mick all arrived backstage quite early. Peter was collected from the Priory and he arrived about 20 mins before they went on stage. I went into the photo pit to shoot the first bit of the show from there. But, the security chaps in the pit decided that it was all over for photographers during the first song. We all got slung straight out of the pit. I then shot the rest of the show from the stage. It was fantastic seeing Babyshambles performing live..

They started with Paddy Put the Pipe Down. What a great song and what a great show. Also, Peter looked healthier than ever. Lily Allen was standing on the side of the sage during the gig. She seemed to know all of the songs and was really into it. After the show, Peter left the stage and was whisked straight out of Clapham in a new Range Rover. I gave Drew and his girfriend a lift home across London.
