Tim Chuma's Photos

with Lill Chili, Barbarion
The Bergy Bandroom, Saturday 11th July 2026

Was looking forward to this but it was going to be a pain to get there due to no trains on two of the different lines to get there. Plus, it started a torrential downpour when I was on the way there and walking less than 100m I got soaked. I did get a chair as I did not know who to ask at the venue for it, Yuri from Barbarion got me one thanks.

Had not seen the other two bands including the headliner but I was mainly there for Barbarion if the number of photos I took of them doesn't give the game away!

Lill Chili was alright and I thought I would see Julian Wu there as he is always at these cool bands, turned out he had already photographed them.

Barbarion were fun as always and to be honest the gig kind of peaked there for me.

I wanted to stay to see Phantom Panda Power Wizard Master Smasher but they seemed to be a bit off on the night and I felt like I had seen everything they had to offer within the first couple of songs. No going out into the crowd doing belly bashing, no "chop! chop! chop!" also some of the metalheads were also complaining about the sound. I could clearly see one of the wireless controllers was off on the power board but no one was going to fix it. I had hike to get home anyway so I just left about 11pm which is later than I would leave earlier for gigs up the road at the Brunswick Ballroom. I had taken more than enough photos on the night as it is. Will see how I go seeing the main band in the future.
