This week’s Monochrome Madness is being hosted by the lovely Margaret from From Pyrenees to Pennines and her chosen theme is Music. I wondered whether I had any related photos as it is a genre I don’t usually photograph, but I was surprised by what I could find. The first one taken in Victoria Falls in December 2000 was memorable by its location and also the fact that these guys are actually blind.
I seem to be fond of drummers though don’t let my OH hear me say that.
Brass instruments also at the Kirkcudbright Brolly Parade (also the feature image is from that event)
Music score
A Welsh organ
And there is nothing better than listening to music than dancing to it!
Well, thank you Margaret, that was fun!
TRAVEL WORDS 
We’ve also watched, and been in awe of, a group of blind musicians, though for the moment neither of us can remember where it was!
Given the extent of your wandering that doesn’t surprise me.
Jude, thanks for your introductory sentence. It made my morning! And you have some cracking photos here, not least of the creative OH (good to meet you, sir!). I was going to vote for a favourite, then found I couldn’t – I like them all. Not at all your usual kind of shot, as far as I knew Jude. But I’d love to see more like these from you.
Not my usual shots at all. I usually shy away from photographing people. Glad you approve 😊
I’m the same Jude. It’s taken me ages to try to Go For It. And I’m still quite surreptitious.
The joy of music. And OH looking happy! Kirkcudbright looks lots of fun and I do love to dance, Jude (though I’m rubbish at the jive). Have a good weekend!
The Brolly Parade was a lot of fun. Sadly Lafrowda was the last live gig OH did.
A most joyous post Jude
Thanks Brian. Not my usual shots, but I enjoyed searching the archives.
A good selection indeed. I liked the Edinburgh Jive dancers, I would have watchhed them if I had been there.
Best wishes, Pete. x
I’m rather partial to some drumming myself so it was good to see so much featured here. The Chinese drummers look great! I like the inclusion of the sheet music detail too 🙂
Thanks Sarah. Funny what popped up in the archives!
Who knew that your OH is a singer/songwriter? Not I.
I don’t share much personal information, but he does have his own music sites: https://davidaharley.bandcamp.com/
Very nice photos. I could almost hear the music in each image.
These are all joyous! And I live and learn, i didn’t know Kirkcudbright had a jazz festival. Nice to see your OH making his debut on the blog too (or if it isn’t his debut I have failed to notice)!
He may have appeared before in one or two posts (often in disguise)
Clearly I didn’t notice then! And the disguise can’t have been a beard 😉.
In silhouette.
Wonderful photos. You can almost hear the music.
