As most readers of my blog know I love other people’s selfies and the stories they tell and in particular those from Alan Doyle and The Beautiful Gypsies from where ever they may be. While I really love all the selfies Alan took at the various places they visited, the venues they performed at or a having a little (well a lot of) fun and R and R, the selfies of the whole band on this trip are extra special. These selfies to me told the story, not only of a group of close friends that play music together but the formation of a tight, knit professional musical unit.
As usual it was difficult to pick a favourite Alan absolutely drop dead gorgeous selfie or a Gypsy favourite. The group black and white selfie taken by Shehab was absolutely brilliant. By the number of favourites and likes on Alan’s official pages on Twitter and Instagram the fans loved them too.
I have included six of my favourites here. The photographs are from the official Twitter and Instagram accounts of Alanthomasdoyle. As always no copyright infringement intended.
