NGF back on home soil
Friday, 11th May 2012
Last weekend was a very exciting weekend for the NGF crew. We were back on home soil playing a gig at The Cellar Bar in Ampthill. I was particularly looking forward to it as this was my first outing with the band in Ampthill. Last time NGF played The Cellar Bar I was in the crowd and it went off. So I was hoping for the night to do the same and it didn’t disappoint.
Johnny got there early in the day and got the rig set up. We all joined about 5pm to sound check and run through a few of the songs we hadn’t played in a while. All went well and was sounding good.
Normally most gigs we play are about 30-45 mins long but as the night was ours we were going to do two 45 mins sets with a short break so everyone could get there breath; Mainly the crowd!
First set was a warm up a mixture of some old classics and a few new ones. The whole pub was getting into it from the start and there was a really nice atmosphere in the building. After a short break NGF came back on and blew the roof off! The second set was full of all the hard hitting tunes that New Groove are famous for, the ones that rattle the rafters and bounce the dance floor. The whole crowd was like an angry sea shifting from side to side, the room was full of well up for it skanking loons! The bouncer at the front had to hold on to the barrier so everyone didn’t come bursting through on top of us. We finished off with Bedford Street, which I think was quite fitting.
It was an amazing evening, big thanks to Sal and everyone at The Cellar Bar that came along. Especially all those at the front having it; your energy is infectious and keeps us pushing to keep you pushing. Thanks again see you at the next one!
