Watson Wedfest - A Few Songs from my Set

in #hive-193816last year

Three weeks ago we attended the wedding of one of our musical friends Mark, better known as Marcus. He is a solo performer as well as part of the band "3 of a Kind" and organises a fair few Open Mics in the area. I have posted about some of them already and surely will continue to do so.

This time his organisational talents came to an absolute showdown as he and his now wife, lovely Alicia, organised their wedding day!
Both are avid festival goes so the obvious choice for both was to use that as a theme for their big day.

And what a day it was! He had his friends performing all day and into the night and I was lucky enough to having been invited to play the opener towards the end of their photo shoot!

My dear friend @steve-o2023 has been lending me a helping hand with creating wonderful videos of each of my songs showing me what is possible! Wow!
These things have come to light for me.. lol

  1. Multi-angel filming requires equal quality cameras.. 🙄
  2. Tell the camera man (or woman) not to be louder than the performer.. 😁
  3. And note to self: Make sure your hair is in order! 🤣

Here are the first few of my set followed by some images of the day further down.
Hope, you like them!

Brand New Key (Melanie)

Exs And Ohs (Elle King)

Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree (KT Tunstall)

Can't Hurry Love (Phil Collins - for me at least ha)

Some Impressions of the Day..

The attention to detail was amazing, so much love went into the preparations.

The Sycamore Stage with the list of performers on the blackboard and my guitar ready to go.. There was lots of stuff for kids to do.

A bit of the cermony; Alicia made her own altar! The macrame in the background was spread on her living room floor for months! 😮

Wow. I'd love the music. It is played by guitar, looks like a music for a cowboy.

Haha, thank you very much! Which one did you listen to?
There are four..

Lovely photos and you look fab Anke!

Thank you!! 😊

That's a fancy event. Looks like a lot of fun.

Whoever is filming needs to resist the urge to sing along or you need to record the sound direct from the PA. The multi-angle is cool though. I know it can be fiddly to sync it up.
