The Script

Having heard that The Script had opened for the likes of Paul McCartney and U2, I was excited to see their set opening for David Cook. Needless to say, the group from Dublin did not disappoint in their performance, which had the crowd on their feet and winning more than a few new fans.

Photographer’s Notes:

Spotlights for this show were tremendous – it’s hard to imagine photographing a group as energetic as The Script with any less light.

Singer Daniel O’Donoghue was the natural subject, and between his time at a keyboard and sprinting around the stage, there was plenty to photograph.

One unique thing about The Script for this set was the placement of drummer Glen Power near the edge of the stage, which is similar to how ?uestlove was positioned for the Roots performance at the Fox last year. If more drummers were setup on the side of the stage, I think music photographer’s everywhere would rejoice.
