Steve Lawson in the living room

Steve Lawson’s gig in our living room last night was a roaring success.
While only six people turned up, it didn’t detract from the enjoyment of a relaxed evening in the company of friends, with plenty of good wine, fine chocolates, beautiful music and much laughter.
I videoed the entire gig, including Steve’s Q&A at the end, which will no doubt creep onto YouTube in due course.
In the meantime, here’s one video from the gig last night, which I recorded on my Fuji FinePix S5600. This is a video of Steve playing his track called “Scott Peck” from Behind Every Word (2007).
And then, all too soon, Steve had to drive home. (To Steve: it was truly wonderful to see you again, lovely man!)
Shortly after he left I discovered that he’d left his scarf here. Maybe I should auction it on eBay for charity: “Rock star’s Dr Who-style scarf”. Steve would, obviously, have the opportunity to bid for it himself, if it means anything to him!

Not the pink, maroon and white one scarf????!!! I might have to bid on that myself….too bad he didn’t leave the pink coat too…I might have been able to reclaim some of my clothing!!
Hope to see you both very soon…I was sad that I couldn’t be there to make the audience lucky 7. Hope all is well.

Don’t worry, Lisa — I’ve not put the scarf on eBay, it’s safely packaged for posting back to the forgetful Mr Lawson on Monday morning.

I’ll have that scarf! its a nice one.
Thats a quailty photo at the top of the post Gareth, what effect did you use? I’ll watch the video (using Firefox!) at home after work.

I used Paint Shop Pro Photo XI to select the background (the dining room and kitchen areas) and then used Adjust > Blur > Blur more…
I then used the High Pass Sharpen effect. I think it makes Steve look a bit like a toy because of that effect.
