Terrible gig photos – share yours here

Blurred, grainy, artistically worthless – we'd like to see your least impressive attempts to capture the magic of live music via dodgy cameraphone pic

Cameraphones at gigs: bands hate them; a sizable proportion of the audience hate them; you'll almost certainly never look at the photos you take – and if you do, the quality will invariably be rubbish.

And yet we keep on taking terrible photos when we should be concentrating on the music and just, you know, enjoying being at a gig.

With that in mind – and as something of an amnesty – we'd like to see the very worst photos you've taken while at a concert. Submit yours via the blue 'contribute' links above and below – and tell us a bit about the gig, and what you think of your cameraphone handiwork.

We'll feature the most exceptionally terrible pictures on the Guardian Music site later this month.
