Play Group Festival 2011 (Woodland Animals)
Sunday, 9th October 2011
Well the first festival of the year for New Groove Formation was Play Group Festival, the theme was Woodland Animals and almost every one turned up in costume it was very cool.
The Main arena held the main stage with side tents circled around all selling the usual festival cloths and food. It tasted and smelt lovely!
We played on the Saturday late afternoon on a stage called the Burrow Stage. It was quite a small stage but we squeezed on.
The tent its self had kind of two sides to it. One side to to watch the bands and another where the fury animals were sitting and chilling.
I would say that when we played both sides were half full. By the time we had got half way through the set we were very pleased that the fury animals were up and jigging aound to the groove.
Where we camped we were next to a really nice guy and his wife, an older animal lets say. We got talking and I invited him down to watch our set, he came! After the set at the camp site he came over and said that he had only come down to be polite and had every intention of just watching one tune and moving on, but was completely captivated by us and couldnt believe we wernt on the main stage. That my friends was the highlight for me!!!!!! Excelent festival with an excelent vibe. Thanks for the booking Play Group!!!!
