An Introduction to our little City of Easthampton ('Gazebo Nights' video) (30 minutes)

The open-air concert season is back with us!

Summer is nearly here!

Here's a repost of the first 'Gazebo Nights' piece that I shot last year (June, 2008), the start of a series for local TV stations showcasing Easthampton's weekly open-air concerts.

Not so much a record of the gig, more a travelogue for Easthampton, giving a good 'feel' for the city and for the people who live here.

Features the music of local Classic Rock group, "Landslyde."

Duration : 30 minutes.

Torrential rain, 'Fake Miniatures,' Master Class Woodworking, 'Gesture Photography' and lots more... May, 2009 Art Walk. (30 mins)

It gives a good 'feel' for the annual parade, plus you get to see the first of the completed Festival bears, "Paddy O'Bearden," and it's clear why our 'Performing Bear' was such a resounding success on the day.

"Gazebo Nights" featuring local band Landsldye, Summer, 2008 (30 minutes)

This was the first of a series of videos we did covering Easthampton's open-air concerts held on the rotary (Pulaski Park) last Summer.

The programme was shot and edited in in June, 2008, and was subsequently cablecast by a number of local Community Access stations.

The music of the local band performing, Landslyde, is a backdrop for an impressionistic presentation of the concert and of the townspeople in the audience (with occasional interviews) and of the town itself.

30 minutes.

If you like 'classic' rock'n'roll and people having a good time in the sunshine, you'll enjoy this!
