Ell Kendall and The London Ambient Orchestra – Down At The Front https://www.downatthefront.co.uk The place to be to experience new music Wed, 05 Nov 2025 19:08:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 212659681 Douglas Dare and the London Ambient Orchestra https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/archives/39021 Wed, 05 Nov 2025 19:07:58 +0000 https://www.downatthefront.co.uk/?p=39021 Ell Kendall has been a great supporter of Daylight Music. He also writes some fantastic music. So I am always happy to support his concerts. Tonight, was potentially a challenge for me. I offered to photograph the event without knowing the line up. When I realised it was the orchestra supporting Douglas Dare, I was not expecting to enjoy the event. I have previously found Douglas vocals have not worked for me. However, what an amazing surprise. This was a special evening. Tonight, in the beautiful Stone Nest, I saw the beauty in his vocals. Ell’s orchestration combined with Douglas’s vocals to create a sublime evening of music.

I love when music surprises me. Tonight reminded me to always give artists a second chance. While they grow and change. I also grow and change. My knowledge and experience of music continues to expand and grow. Things I didn’t like a few years ago, I now like. After tonight’s concert. Douglas has a new fan.

I struggled tonight photographing Ell. The music was too quiet for my noisy shutter and the lights flickered at the wrong frequency for my camera’s silent mode. This didn’t distract from a sublime performance by Ell Kendall and The London Ambient Orchestra. Support was from Joe Harvey-Whyte
