Thank you Nick and Harry for your comments. You're right, it was the angle - since I was up against the barrier and it was very crowded I wasn't able to change angle. It was taken at the G12's full zoom, so I'm very surprised it actually came out! Due to lack of time/photoshop skills (not keen on big cloning jobs) I'm going to come in with this one of the vocalist, Chris Ousey who's holding the offending microphone - the stand is out of shot, this time.
