Carrie On Shooting

Last night was Holywood and the Alternative Ink tattoo parlour for the launch of a photo exhibition. Carrie Davenport has been a vibrant part of the Belfast music scene for many years now and her collection catches local bands on the fly, plus passing rock legends, throwing shapes at the Odyssey, the Limelight and more.

Carrie likes her unreconstituted rock and the dynamics of artists like Karen O, Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga. There is a rollicking Morrissey and a defiant Fred Durst. My fave would be a video shoot from And so I Watch You From Afar which shows the band looking self-reliant and almost heroic. It's a testament to the band's ongoing poise and also to Carrie who was able to recognize that potential.

The exhibition runs until May 22.
