    • @LouSmith
      @LouSmith  4 дня назад

      @TakaOh haha. No I don't own the Windmill. I first set foot in it in 2011 when I followed the Fat White Family there after seeing them play at my regular music night Easycome acoustic. I just got a name for doing immersing, one shot videos, and also photos, and after a few years, I got a free pass, any gig, any time, so the Windmill became like my second home. Other venues were also happy for me to film there, so this had been extended to the George tavern, Venue MOT, and Amp studios as well as one or two that have since closed. For other venues, the bands themselves are happy to put me on their guest list. So yes, I have a great relationship with the venues, and many of the bands, but also the regular music fans and ecosystems surrounding the scene. I run a very rock and roll screen printing business, providing many of the bands'merch requirements and also shooting their early promo videos, so am supported financially like that. It's a great niche I've made for myself, and is really my entire life. Long may it remain so. As long as I am able to produce quality and relevant material, I'll keep at it. I'm 61 now, so hopefully a few more years. Undoubtedly, my efforts bring revenue and early exposure to the bands and the venues, so it's win win. I would say that just recently, with the cult of celebrity that social media brings, that the space is getting more and more full of people filming and documenting the shows, which I don't think is totally a good thing, but inevitable at the same time. I'm still, I think, considered the best and most influential of these, and there is a great feeling of love and respect for me when I go out, including a degree of protection from unruly audience members who think it's their right to upend me for getting in their precious way. I live it and love it.

If they play a secret gig in a home venue I'll be there. There's some great bands on here, current stuff you may like, Pyongyang, Y, Charlemagne, Magnolia, honestly the list is endless. These ones from your preference for BM BCNR. Generally if I'm gonna stand in front of a stage for half an hour or more, I've got to think they're worth the effort, so I only film acts I really like.

      You may have a point actually. I thought the comment was on another vid. I think I meant to upload as two clips then forgot.

      I may owe you an apology! Also there may be a bunch of fans out there who missed the remainder of this set when it was streamed that will now get to see it because of you. So pat yourself on the back and keep your eyes peeled for the new upload.

    That Odysee platform is unwatchable.

      In what way? Smoothness of streaming issues? Content? I held out a lot of hope for the decentralised, blockchain ethos behind the original, but it seems to have strayed from the brief.
