Mark Daly & The Ravens At Club Soda

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link. It's been a few years since the last time I shot a show at Club Soda, so it was nice to return to the legendary Montreal concert hall.  Opening the show was a band of rockers from Ireland known as Mark Daly & The Ravens.  They put on a terrific set that really kicked the night into overdrive the moment the lights went down.  Their first visit to Montreal was a great success.  The crowd was roaring by the second song and the diehards even burst into the ‘Olé Olé Olé’ chant as a sign of appreciation.  The band did a funny bit where they mentioned that they had all kinds of merch available at the table, only to notice that their merch guy was in the crowd.  Asked why he was there instead of manning his post, he quickly quipped, “You guys sound great, I wanted to see the show!”  Their most recent album, Devil’s Arms, was released last year, but there have been a whole series of singles released since then that I have been tracking down since their performance.  Mark Daly & The Ravens put on a terrific show and I hope we get to see them in these parts again.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Mark Daly & The Ravens while they performed on the Club Soda stage.
