04/10/2008 - Walter Trout @ Newcastle Carling Academy

Posted by john on Monday Oct 13, 2008 Under Past gigs

Oh the Trout! I’ve been quite literally GAGGING to shoot Walter since the first time I saw him play many many years ago. If you like ripping solos and gurning faces, Walter is the man for you.

There are few people who can ooze emotion through music as much as Walter does - when you see him fly down the fretboard with ‘that’ look on his face, you just know he means it!

Walter always makes a habit of getting a brilliant band behind him, and new addition Michael Leisure is certainly a force to be reckoned with! Rick Knapp is great to shoot as he is the calming Zen, and Sammy Avila is just - well - Sammy.

Really pleased with the Trout photos - if I’ve done one shoot that I can honestly say best captures every single band member, it would be this one. All shot on the 24-70mm and 10-22mm wide angle.

    Fully agree - last couple of times I’ve seen Gary Moore, its been a bit monotonous….Walter brings something new to the table everytime I see him
