Recently i filmed a gig in Birmingham for a band called Catalan. I then spent three weeks on and off editing footage whenever i found time out from university. Let's face it three weeks is a long time to be watching the same footage over and over but i found it so enjoyable because the band are so passionate about what they do.
The band are birmingham based and take time to rehearse and perfect every song they perform. Taking inspiration from mainly Rock n Roll, Blues, Funk and all other styles of music. Covering classics and performing their own songs. It was so nice to watch a bunch of musicians play real instruments and having fun. I really miss the days when i would perform in front of an audience and i know the buzz that they would have had from performing.
They recently released their own songs which you can listen to on their Facebook
( https://www.facebook.com/catalanband/?fref=ts ).
I think that these days people are so used to having music on demand and having perfected recordings of songs, music that has been messed with so much that when the artist performs live you hardly recognise their voice. Having been to a gig for what seems like the first time i forever i enjoyed listening to real, live music.
I loved filming the gig, meeting the band and spending time editing the footage. Watch the mashup and the two other videos i edited below and head over to their Facebook and Youtube channel to see more from this talented bunch.
