Terry Gillespie

Terry (or maybe it's me) has been getting more active since 2007. A new record. Some touring. Here's where I've caught him around town. If you'd like to (try to) keep up with him check out the  Terry Gillespie web site.

(See "Heaven's Radio" for the Reunion in May, 2007 & some late 1970's galleries)

The Atlantic Hotel, Alexandria

February 20th, 2010  - Terry plays at The Atlantic a few times a year. Its just down the road from Van Kleek Hill, his home, and its a comfortable tavern with a good audience. This time he was joined by Terry Owen on sax, Joe Hawkins on guitar, Jeffrey Grosvenor on bass & Gordon Adamson on drums.

The Baker Street Cafe

September 26th, 2009 - The Baker Street Cafe has added dinner and  Blues on the weekend nights. Terry & band (Vince Halfhide, Terry Owen, Jeffrey Grosvenor and Corky Kealy) were the first act to take the stage. In the dim light I failed to notice that my camera wasn't focusing. Only the last few out of about 50 shots came out. Here's one of them:

 

The Elmdale House Tavern

September 12th, 2009 - Terry Gillespie on guitar and vocals, Trevor Brewster on guitar, Jacint Boucher on hand drums, Jeffrey Grosvenor on bass, Corky Kealy on drums, Peter Maesroch on keyboards and Terry Owen on sax.

The Elmdale has added some light, which is good, but the colour is horrible so here are some pictures in...

Party at The Elmdale House Tavern

January 31st, 2009 -Terry Gillespie with  Trevor Brewster, Jeffery Grosvenor, Corky Kealy & Terry Owen. What a party! Terry is going into the studio and is not going to play publicly for a while so this was a "till we meet again" party in a homey tavern. A wonderful night.

Tucson's Roadhouse

April 12th, 2008-Terry Gillespie with  Vince Halfhide, Jeffery Grosvenor, Corky Kealy & Terry Owen. The band was cookin'! A few new songs - "Blood". I had my new(ish) 30mm, f1.2 Sigma lens for a "normal" view and 1/100 sec or better shutter.

• A few shots. 

At the Glebe Community Centre

November 22nd, 2007 -Terry Gillespie for the Glebe's Underground Sound. The band was: Terry Gillespie, Peter Maesroch - keyboards,  Jeffery Grosvenor - Bass & hand drums. I didn't have the leisure to sit and enjoy the evening and I think it shows in the images. I'm fascinated by the way the camera knows and shows my moods!

• At the NAC's Fourth Stage

October 5th, 2007 - Terry, The Granary Blues Band & Vince Halfhide covered Terry's "Brother of the Blues" in the first set and a potpouri of favorites in the second. The band was Terry Gillespie, Vince Halfhide - guitar, Peter Maesroch - piano, Jody Golick - sax, Stephen Barry - bass & Gordon Adamson - drums.
I travel light to these shows - camera body with my one fast fixed lens - 85mm, f1.8. Most shots are f1.8  at about 1/100sec. The 85mm is good for portrait work but poor on covering shots so I do panoramas of multiple images to get the coverage.
