Harefest
Friday, 13th April 2012
On Saturday 7th April 2012 NGF embarked on a long road trip up north to Harefield Hall for Harefest! It was an all day event with a great line up of artists including 3 Daft Monkeys, Dan Donnelly, Mark Chadwick (The Levellers), Miles and Erica (The Wonder Stuff) to name a few. We left early as we were due to play at 4:45pm.
After 4 hours of driving we arrrived at 2pm to find out we were now headlining the event. It was suggested by Mark Chadwick that we should headline as we were the loudest group there and would be good to end the night, which was very flattering. A few of the band members might have been a bit disappointed about not being able to drink the amazing ales and ciders on offer for a few more hours! Haydn was gazing longingly at the barrels from a distance…
When we finally got to play everybody was raring to go! Its was a tight squeeze on stage and Quinny had to try and not jump as we were very close to a chandelier! The crowd were great, dancing throughout the set and showing their jazz hands for our new song I Know Ya.
Everybody was really freindly and I was amazed to see some people were camping outside! We were well looked after by staff and had a great time partying with 3 Daft Monkeys.
My sympathy went to Lewis who had to play at a jazz gig as soon as he was back in Bedfordshire the next day! Zzzzzz!
