David Corio recalls: "I'd met Feargal as he left a rehearsal room on Holloway Road in north London late one evening. I shot some portraits of him under a street light as I didnt have any lights or flashgun with me. It occurred to me as we passed a launderette that this was the best lit location in sight and thats how this photo happened. It was a quiet session as Feargal didnt speak much and I tend to go with the subjects mood. The Undertones were a great pop punk band from Derry in Northern Ireland and Feargals distinctive quavering voice made them stand out. The bands first album The Undertones featuring the classic song Teenage Kicks John Peels favourite song of all time had been released not long before I took this picture."

David Corio recalls: "The show opened with a specially designed set - the exterior of an old bar straight out of a Western, the “street” lit by a single street lamp. Tom walked on stage and leaned nonchalantly against the lamp post, a burning cigarette dangling between his fingers. After a few songs and cigarettes, he wandered over to the piano and began to play. Although the whole set looked beautiful, it was a nightmare to photograph. Darkness was obviously the design theme. There was just one light above Tom at the piano and the brim of his trilby kept his face in shadow. Fortunately Tom Waits makes some great dramatic gestures when he performs - in this photo the light off the back of his hand and the keyboard reflected onto his face and I was able to get this shot."
