One for @badgigpictures.bsky.social and @ineeddirection.bsky.social Tom from the Limiñanas in Glasgow last night. Honestly!

It is none other than Ride’s very own Mark Gardener. Amazed you couldn’t tell!! 😂

Coming tomorrow #TraceysBlurryGigPics2025 Some of you will remember #TraceysBlurryGigPics2024 but that was only a top 10. This year, I'm doing a full advent calendar starting with the ok photos and getting progressively worse (or better). Join me tomorrow for day 1 ...

@badgigpictures.bsky.social I knew I had this one hiding away somewhere. #badgigpic or potential album cover? Bonus points for guessing who it may be!

Remember when gig photos looked like this? I think this*might* be Interpol at the Liquid Room in August 2001. @badgigpictures.bsky.social

The fabulous Bellrays in Leeds a few weeks ago ~ I know they bring the energy but to actually capture them vibrating takes skillz .... 💓 @badgigpictures.bsky.social #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures #TheBellrays

This one is for @ineeddirection.bsky.social MBV 3Arena Dublin #blurrygigpics

One for @ineeddirection.bsky.social and @badgigpictures.bsky.social

Some blurries from @prolapseband.bsky.social in Manchester last night :)

Out out and live music is involved. An early entry for @badgigpictures.bsky.social bodes well 👍🏻

Hinako Omori in Shrewsbury tonight. Great venue, terrible pics @badgigpictures.bsky.socia

Utterly adored Kathryn Joseph and Lomond Cambell tonightat The Tin in Coventry. Talked to Kathryn afterwards about Ukrainian classical pianist, Lubomyr Melnyk and she said she played a gig with him once. Now that would have been amazing! Anyway, here's some blurries for @badgigpictures.bsky.social

for @badgigpictures.bsky.social ... fuzzy action shot of French-Canadian punks Puffer at Wharf Chambers, Leeds they came all that way, etc etc 😂 #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures #Puffer

... and then I fell over

Plus this 'atmospheric' one for @badgigpictures.bsky.social #TheseNewPuritans #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

Kungens Män at The Ferret, Preston, September 25 a gig picture so bad that their own mothers probably couldn't recognise them #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures #KungensMän @badgigpictures.bsky.social

So I know I got a new phone and my recent photos have been disconcertingly clear, but last night I created an Instagram account where I'm going to drip feed my archive from the last 20 years. I'm traceyb_blurrygigpics if you want to follow me...

Flashback to a week ago and bald head vision in Leeds for @firefriend.bsky.social at Mabgate Bleach. Rumour on the street is they'll be back next year...

when a Janitor makes a better door than a window ... The Janitors at The Ferret, Preston, 17/9/25 @badgigpictures.bsky.social #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

next, for #BadGigPics, its the hard core band Violencia from Mexico playing at Boom, Leeds ... @badgigpictures.bsky.social #BadGigPictures #Violencia #ShakyCam

Haha, even better, I hadn’t spotted that, it was just a perfect badgigpic blurry mess.

it was the right way up when I posted it, BlueSky have somehow turned it around!😱

😂 I’ll take your word for that

catching up with some #BadGigPics today ... first, it's Thumbsucker at Boom, Leeds, positively vibrating with excitement @badgigpictures.bsky.social #BadGigPictures #Thumbsucker #BoomLeeds

And if you thought the blurriness of that second picture was bad, here’s a couple of really #badgigpics

blurry Deathtrippers at the Fox and Newt in Leeds, along with dancing Trippers 🫠 @badgigpictures.bsky.social #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

. @badgigpictures.bsky.social My new phone cam only managed one semi-blurry photo from last night's Darius Zaltash gig. I'm going to use my old phone as a gig camera from now on coz my ne phone has no soul! ;)

Seeing Dawn After Dark live is like a time machine to 17-year-old me. Last night's gig in Wolverhampton was a lot better than my photos suggest!

awful shaky cam picture of the lovely Bootlicker at Boom, Leeds ~ they came all the way from Canada and this is what they get #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures #Bootlicker @badgigpictures.bsky.social

famous for their spellbinding light show, this is Hawkwind at the O2 in Leeds 😎 #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures #Hawkwind @badgigpictures.bsky.social

This, as you can all clearly see, is Jehnny Beth playing Rough Trade in Bristol last night #badgigpics

Ha thank you, for being an important repository for this unknown history! 🤭

@badgigpictures.bsky.social "Ong" (Gong) at Manchester Psych Fest.

Last one, this is Bug Club, honestly #manchesterpsychfest

Tormented Imp at DG, Leeds ~ it's a good job I know what they look like, you couldn't pick them out of a line-up from this photo #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures @badgigpictures.bsky.social

@badgigpictures.bsky.social And another Getdown Services

@badgigpictures.bsky.social Gong at Manchester psych Fest

Hey @badgigpictures.bsky.social this is Laura Lee from Khruangbin, hope you like my photo! 😆

From Thursday, not only blurred but also headless! #badgigpics

About time I started adding #BadGigPics content to the new Bluesky @badgigpictures.bsky.social account. Here's my favourite photo of Prolapse in Preston a couple of weeks ago...

Coolio, nice to see you. Here's a couple of Betty Boo for ya. #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

Great to see you here. As someone who's never taken a GoodGigPic it's good to have company. For starters here's two really #BadGigPics from the excellent Scrounge gig at the Lexington earlier this year.

welcome to BlueSky! bsky.app/profile/badg... #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

Welcome back! Here’s a recent one for you. Not bad as in blurry, but poorly framed, with only one band member clearly visible. #BadGigPics

Welcome! Good to see you!

Jack from Autocamper (obviously!) performing with Uhr at the New Continental in Preston. #badgigpics @badgigpictures.bsky.social

we're here! #BadGigPics #BadGigPictures

a little birdie tells me that Bad Gig Pictures will finally be making the switch to BlueSky over the August Bank Holiday weekend same hashtags as before so the new account can find & share your stuff! #BadGigPics or #BadGigPictures for inspiration, here's my terrible pic of The Seeds in Leeds 🫣

It's here! Everyone please follow @badgigpictures.bsky.social, newly joining us from the other place. Sadly the old "Tweet don't delete" tag isn't going to work so well here but don't forget to tag this account in your #BadGigPics 📸🚫😂
