favourite Union Chapel photos
What a fantastic night we had at the Union Chapel. I owe a big thank you to all involved–the band, guest musicians, volunteer organisers, and to the audience for go along with the strange experiment and giving us such a warm reception.
I’ve collected this Flickr album of my favourite photos from the gig, shot variously by NKguy, John Miller, Haydn Wheeler, Andy Shepherd, Lissu and possibly others. They’re all jumbled up so no individual credits, but thanks to all of you for sending them. I’ve also written some notes with each about who’s who and what their connection is.
Stunningly good quality on these.
Thanks for a cool gig! Worth the travel from Sweden! Cheers! /moist.se
Great collection of photographs. Flattered that you chose two of mine!
Excellent pics!
It’d be great if the one of Andrew getting down and dirty with the ‘Commercial Break-up’ solo was added to that lot. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere… not sure whose shot it is.
Darren, that was probably mine, on this forum thread http://forum.thomasdolby.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4070
Ah… that’s a wonderful shot! There’s also one where Thomas is pointing at Andrew… great stuff!
In on pics you wrote: “My only synth for the night, the excellent Nord Lead 3. It has a wooden pitch bend lever and stone modulation wheel! Seriously!”
The ridiculously talented Max Tundra wrote a song about his Nord Lead 3, mentioning those same features: “Her walnut stick is good to feel \ I like to turn her sandstone wheel”

(In my dreams TMDR produces a band version of his instant classic prog-rock opus “Until We Die”.)
It’s so great to see the faces from those album credits, especially your backing vocalists.
“Trevor Horn–possibly the world’s greates record producer”
His ideas on Malcolm McLaren’s Buffalo Gals and ABC’s The Lexicon of Love were incredible messages from the future in 1982, but the production on your albums and Prefab Sprout is timelessly great.
Them’s fightin’ words in these parts
