This car was backstage at the Mitchell Creek Rock ‘N’ Blues Festival. It belonged to a colourful character we later met called Greg the Wookie. He is a singer in a Blues Brother cover band “The Soul Men” You have to admire the dedication of a cover band who invest in authentic wheels.

To process this image a Black & White layer was added in Photoshop. The Blue and Cyan grey tones were darkened and the Yellow and Green grey tones were lightened.

This is Noriko Tadano who was performing with George Kamikawa at the Mitchell Creek Rock N Blues Festival in Queensland, Australia. One of the great things about small festivals is the music you discover. These two definitely added some colour to the weekend. I try to avoid using vertical shots on this blog but sometimes only portrait will do.

This weekend we went to the Mitchell Creek Rock ‘N’ Blues Festival in Queensland, Australia. We had been invited by the YouTube channel Music Live 4U to help film Lani and Lecia. This image is half of globetrotting blues and roots duo, Hat Fitz & Cara, who also played at Mitchell Creek. They had been recommended by my parents who saw them play at the Cambridge Folk Festival in the UK and they put on a great foot-stomping performance.

UPDATE: Hat Fitz & Cara will perform at Bluesfest in April 2022. Get your tickets from the Bluesfest website.
