That's gorgeous :)

I'm always tempted to take my good camera to a gig, but assume it'd get taken off me - but then I always see people with SLRs and wonder how they got them in!!

Um....probably the same way I get my recording gear in LOL.

I'm almost afraid to ask! haha

If you have any kind of web presence at all, getting infront of the barrier really is just a matter of asking managers and venues, and explaining why you want to be there - sooner or later you'll hit lucky. The worst that can happen is you'll get ignored!

The shots from Villa are with my Canon Powershot, which I can't recommend highly enough - you're limited to the range of the lens it comes with, but it fits in my pocket and produces pictures that look that nice with a minimum of effort.
