Yellowgroove @ The Goldhawk
Well, the very Yellow weekend went amazingly well. It was even extended by a day thanks to a last minute bit of organisation (and fortune), putting Yellowgroove on the bill at a small venue in Shepherd’s Bush called the Goldhawk. This was YG’s first London outing and it was such a success that the promoter has offered a further two dates in the city. More pics from this night
Friday night was another corker! It was YG’s second date at the Hobbit, a great little venue in the heart of Southampton’s studentville. In comparison to their previous performance in the cosy place, the band were all healthy and flu free! The guys played an hour long set to room that was so packed that many people were left standing in the corridor trying to fight their way in. Look out for Yellowgroove appearing at the Hobbit again very soon! Many thanks go out to Jason Petrou who took some great pictures of the night.
Eastleigh Music Festival
On Saturday afternoon Yellowgroove played the mainstage of the Eastleigh music festival to headline the free section of the festival day. The typically British July afternoon (rainy and grey) seemed to slightly deter the crowds from this great event however, the stage was fortunately sited under a large big-top. The crowd were soon aroused by the set. Emma Richards took this stunning set of photos.
Guestlingbury music festival was next on the schedule however, this small, family run event had unfortunately been over-run by festival goers. They estimated that over 2,000 people had turned up on the Friday night and when compared to the couple of hundred the previous year, the event couldn’t cope and was understandably cancelled.
Overall, a fantastic weekend was had by all and many thanks go out to all of those who came to support or were involved in the organisation and logistics. More Yellow events will be on their way soon!
