This Is Freedom - Chalet Girl break!

It's great when hard work is rewarded & even better when that is combined with a little bit of good fortune. So it was great to hear that local Aylesbury based band This Is Freedom managed to get a couple of their songs onto the Sound track for the film Chalet Girl released last week. I love the opportunity to photograph live bands & it's been a privelege to watch This Is Freedom go from strength to strength


With the launch of the film, it was too good an opportunity to miss to get the band to play in the foyer of the local Odeon cinema in Aylesbury last Saturday, which they did several times during the day.They sound just as good acoustically unplugged as they do fully wired & it's great to hear how their vocals & particularly J's have come on in the last year. It was a shame we had the best weather for weeks, so it was fair to say it would have been great to see more people at the cinema.


The boys - John (lead vocals/guitar), Henry (guitar & vocals), Ben (Bass/vocals) & Dan (drums/rythm) have high energy & a great sound - the two songs on the film - Bad Company & No Regrets, stand out.

Fortunately, the band had an unplugged session @ The Harrow pub in the centre of Aylesbury planned for the evening. Space was a bit of a challenge, but the boys pulled off a great couple of sets, firstly unplugged & then wired later in the evening. It was great to be able to cover the events for them & let's hope that this might be the launch pad that gives them the recognition & the success they rightly deserve.






Well done lads, I'm proud of you!
