Gig - RHCP
Reducing the level of political controversy on the advice of my security staff, I instead note my attendance at the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Earl’s Court last night, from the vantage point of the seated area, stage left, now that I am well mature and grown up. An enjoyable gig. It was perhaps a bit of a surprise to me that Dani California was one of the highlights I thought; sounded really good live. I always like it when they play Me and My Friends as well.

We went to the Jools Holland concert on Thursday.
Was most p****d off with a yellowcoat security person who told me I was not allowed to photograph the *artistes*. When I protested, the retort was "take a pic and we will confiscate your camera!"
Can they do that without contravening my legal rights?

Really briefly, they can certainly tell you not to take photos.
If you defy them, they can ask you to leave and if you refuse, they can use reasonable force to eject you, which may include taking your camera off you while you are in the process of being chucked out (although they would have to give it back to you once you are off the premises).
Basically, you are on their premises only insofar as they consent. If you break the terms of the consent, you become a trespassor.
Also, they could insist on you handing over your camera to them to be returned when you leave as a pre-condition for being allowed to remain on the premises, failing which you get chucked out immediately.

There is almost certainly something in the conditions of sale of the ticket as well (i.e. you will have agreed contractually not to take photos). Farkin' liberty if you ask me. [Hughesy]
