Keefs Band

[Wimpole]

As the Lounge appears to be degenerating into discussions on female bum size and dick size...can I change tack.

I randomly ended up in the Plough last night (Sat) and saw Keef's band Bare Groove. I have never met or spoken to Keef before but they totally....rocked....Man.

I havent ever seen 50 people jumping up and down /dancing/ going crazy in an East Dulwich pub for...well ever. Splendid stuff. Tight. Lots of fit women dancing. A real Les Paul. And a brass section too.

Keef, I'm more of a strat man myself. But I well and truely tip my hat to you sir.

[macroban]

Does the band have a CD for sale?

[Keef]

*Blushes*

Why thanks very much Wimpole, it's a pretty new venture, and it's really nice to hear some feedback like that!

Macroban, as I say the band is pretty new, but one of our main priorities is to get some demo tracks, and a live video clip (of better quality than my camcorder) done for our website, so I shall let you know when they're there.

Thanks to all the forum people that came the other night, we as a band really really enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was great!

[david_carnell]

Round of applause for you and your band mates Keef. Excellent night.

Apologies to anyone who encountered me that night, however. A pretty drunken sight. I blame one particular fellow who shall remain nameless!

[georgia]

Keef your band were great, it was a good evening

[annaj]

Good thread Wimpole, nice to have something worth talking about in the lounge...

David, don't worry, you were both charming drunks. Also, excellent dancing!

Oh and I did meet MrBen, but since it was a first meeting I thought it might be unfair to publically mock him the next day.

Keef, I'm thinking of recommending your band to a colleague who's organising a ball for all of the South London and Kent A&E registrars. Quite a scary crowd.

Does that sound like the kind of event you'd do?

[Keef]

Absolutely! You or her can email us via the website, or I can PM you the number of our drummer who deals with the booking side of things. That would be great fun. Unfortunately I doubt We'll be back at The Plough as the volume seemed a bit much for them. We might do another public gig at The Half Moon in Hearne Hill in a couple of months though.

[ladida]

Even though I spent the vast majority of the evening outside the pub on Saturday, it was absolutally great, the band, the birds, the atmosphere. Good to hear the brass section again too.

It's a shame that they probably won't let the whole band play there again, bearing in mind that the pub most likely made a killing behind the bar that night!

Missed Anthony's solo - AGAIN - oops

Hooray for the band Keef, but I understand you were a bit naughty afterwards?

Oh dear! Was it my dancing to Guns & Roses annaj? Or was I just that drunk?!

I cant remember.

Not that night, Mrs Keef and I went for one more pint then went home.

[ratty]

Oooh, we had the pub for my sons naming day all afternoon, so the band must have been on after us! I saw them setting up.

[SeanMacGabhann]

double ooh - I was there when you arrived ratty and saw they hadn't cordoned off the whole of the left hand side of the pub - I did the right thing and moved to the other side of the pub. Didn't realise it was you tho

[Moos]

Congrats Ratty and the wee Ratlet - how did it go?

[ratty]

It went fabuloso! A brilliant day! :) One of the best days of my life!!

Hello Sean! Next time I see you I will say "Hi".

It was great that they had only cordoned off half the area in the end as it was more intimate!

Plough done us proud - food and atmosphere was fab! Thanks to all - especially Reuben!

Party back at mine went on until 4am ish! Actually the party ended up in my neighbous house!

[Moos]

:)-D

[Strawbs]

Keef I heard about your band at book club last night, I hear its all time! I will keep my eye out for the next gig and Jaws and I will pop along..

[giggirl]

When's the next one then?

[Keef]

Bare Groove will be doing a Christmas gig at The Plough on Friday 12th December.

Bare Groove are a 7 piece band with a rocky backline fronted by female and male vocals, and topped off with a horn section.

Come one and all for a boogie to a wide range of music, hopefully there will be something to please everyone, from James Brown, to Andy Williams, to Gossip, to The Killers, and of course a couple of Micheal Jackson classics!

We shall most likely play 3 x 40 minute sets probably kicking the first one off about half 8.

Come and get in the xmas spirit... No promises, but we may even come up with some Slade / Wizard yuletide classics...

[giggirl]

Are you taking requests?

[AcedOut]

Can't wait to hear you guys. As an ex-trumpet player (and attempting to re-learn at the moment), I love the mix of guitar and a brass/horn section. I have a few weddings coming up next year, so may be able to put some recommendations forward.

[Ladygooner]

Maybe we could combine this night with the EDF December drinks? What do you think Georgia?

[Keef]

Happy to take them, can't promise you'll hear them though, as we don't have much rehearsal time between now and then to learn new songs...

[georgia]

I would prefer to leave the drinks on the 5th if possible, as people may have already planned around that date.

Perhaps we can do both (I will be!) and then those who can't make the 5th may be able to make the 12th and vice versa.

[Brendan]

The drinks are on the 1st Friday of every month. If we start straying from the rules it will be chaos I tell you, chaos!

Sorry I suppose comment should be reserved for those who have actually attended the last few booze ups.

*skulks off*

[Strawbs]

I like the sound of both!! I love a xmas drink so its an excuse to have two so Im there! x
