I've see Joana and the Wolf many times, but not previously at the Purple Turtle. It's a venue that suits them with a decent stage and lights. There are another couple of photographers I know here tonight, and Maxfield are playing later. 2 years ago I photographed Maxfield quite a lot. They are a good band but right at the edge of my taste. I recognise a lot of songs; but I'm not sure that I recognise many of the band apart from Valerie herself. Overall it is a very pleasant evening and I think some of the hundreds of pictures will be good.
