Silences at Vantastival by Sean Smyth (3-5-14) (13 of 17)

Way back at the start of the Summer, we were introduced to Silences. We had heard rumblings about this band who were to play Other Voices and once the footage came out from that performance; we were hooked.

We duly asked them to come down and play for us on our own stage at Vantastival. That stage was set up in conjunction with those fierce nice people over in The Spirit Store, Dundalk, and Silences did not disappoint. Not long after, we took the lads out beyond the Vantastival gates at a meeting point just in front of the immense Bellurgan Park home.

After the initial exchange of pleasantries and location scouting, we then ended up shooting in a tree. Yes, in a tree.

Not the most common of video-shooting locations but one that threw up some fabulous shots. The the low hanging evening-sun limped through the huge overarching branches; creating strips of lights like tiny spotlights shining upon the bark.

Handily enough, there was two small, old and unstable kids school desks; probably from the 60’s just making it’s acquaintance with the earth.
