Neonfly - Queens Hall, Nuneaton.

Well, the moment finally arrived, the kids were very excited...
#neonfly at The Queens Hall in Nuneaton.
We got there bright & early to ensure the kids got to the front.
Before the gig, we had a nice chat with Willy Norton (the singer) & also with Frederick Thunder II (guitarist / song writer)
The kids had made birthday cards for Fred & were eager to give them to him, it was lovely to see & Fred was genuinely touched that they had made cards for him.

Anyway, the doors opened & Neonfly were still doing their sound check, which was an added bonus & we positioned ourselves at the front.

Cue the intro music, it is in it's self fantastic & gives an immediate adrenalin rush
Ship with no sails follows the intro & the audience (90% who have probably never heard Neonfly before) seemed to be instantly fixated & realised they were witnessing a very special band.
The Enemy was next, then A Gift to remember, followed by "The" Medley of the revenent, the ornament (my favourite instrumental by any band) & spitting blood.
Then we were treated to 2 new songs; fierce battalions & heart of the sun.
finally, morning star, a quality tune, probably my fav song by them.

After Neonfly, we moved to the back of the room & we had a nice chat with the guys & they gave the kids drum sticks, set lists, guitar pics, a real gift to remember, what a great gig & what a great bunch of guys, can't wait for the new album & the next time :)

Neonfly - Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

Went to see Neonfly support Dragonforce at the rescue rooms in Nottingham on weds.
Dragonforce are not our cup of tea, but we only went for the fly guys.

The weather was pants but luckily we were at the front of the queue due to getting there very very early & there's a canopy at the doors.

The poor black veil brides fans round the corner at rock city weren't so lucky as to have shelter & there were some pretty heavy down pours ( oh well, should follow a decent band ;) - just kiding before a get a hard time for dissing the BVB , my daughter follows them to )

Anyway, Neonfly kicked butt. They were nothing short of amazing, sadly their set was only 30 minutes long, it'll be nice to see them headline a gig & play a long set :)

Looking forward to the new Neonfly album - Strangers in Paradise.
