Keith Urban - Channel 7 studio

I have taken this photograph of Keith Urban, while he was performing for Sunrise - a Channel & breakfast show. I must admit I do not know hie music and probably as most people I only know his name because he is married to Nicole Kidman. His music is labeled as a country style and I guess this is why I never listed to him before. However, he is a fine rocker. His performance in the studio was certainly an ear opener for me. Although “I told you so” song, for example, features some of country instrumentation it is easily a good pop or rock song depends how your ears are inclined. I guess my perception of what country music is way outdated.

David Koch ambushed by protesters

David Koch ambushed by protesters

Television rating war is intensifying between rival networks Channel 7 and Channel 9. A popular host of the Channel 7 program Sunrise, David “Kochie” Koch has been surrounded by a small but vocal group of protesters during his regular meeting with the public just around 9am outside the Channel 7 studios. Reportedly, David has commented later on TV that this looked like a stunt organised by the rival TV network. I have to say the protest looked very well organised and not very spontaneous. Just look at these professionally made boards.

David Koch has handled the protesters with utmost professionalism. He has listened to them, and asked one of the security guards to take notes of their names and issues promising to follow it up. One of the protesters have said to a TV crew that he was satisfied Koche will do the right thing.

Channel 9’s A Current Affair has advertised later on the day to bring a report on the issue.

Ricki Lee’s band MG_6322-8

This is another photograph I took during Ricki-Lee’s performance at channel 7’s Sydney studio. As with all the other photographs from that studio the photograph was taken through two 3/4 inch thick panes of glass. I must say I liked the lighting in the studio only focused on the backup singer while keeping the musicians in the shadow not to mention that all the men in the band are looking to the right while the girl looks the other way.

Mika - why don’t you like me

Mika performed his signature hit “why don’t you like me” at Channel 7 studio today. It was on of the most energetic performances I’ve seen there for a while. He engaged the crew, presenters and everyone else around him. He jumped and danced and was obviously full of energy and joy. It is a pity it was so cold and the mini concert was not taken outside as there was quite a sizable crowd of fans admiring him from the outside.

Channel 7 got the mini concert, Koshi and Mel got an interview and I got the look from the tiny, mighty queen of contemporary rock - Avril Lavigne.

Blond Girl Clapping Hands - Take That Fan

Few days ago remaining members of Take That had an interview at Channel 7, followed by a brief concert in Sydney Martin Place. A group of few hundred fans surrounded the stage in obvious anticipation. I have taken few photographs of the group members and you can see them in the Take That gallery. However, the subject of this post is a beautiful blond girl obviously overtaken by emotions of seeing her favourite band.
