The Music Section gig
The first Music Section kicked off in style with Action Group. Playing a stripped down acoustic set (with a stripped down band, in terms of numbers), the guys delivered tunes off their latest album with real flair. Watching them in this intimate setting was a departure from their usual shows where synths, drums, and electronics fill out the sound, but this just brought home the fact that they’re a fantastic bunch of musicians who can knock out a great tune.
We took the stage next, which involved some careful placing of body parts & instruments in order to squeeze in front of the bay window. I managed not to fall on the drum kit as as we inspired a couple to dance an impromptu jig while playing ‘Pigeon Loft’.
The pub was filled to the brim with locals, friends, and a few passers-by so all in all it was deemed a successful beginning to the Music Section.
