A long drive down in to Islington was all worth it when we went to Neonfly's Album Launch Gig.
As usual we were at the front of the queue early to ensure a good spot, a few familiar faces from other gigs (Magnum gigs) appeared in the queue & these folks had also travelled long distances.
The first of 3 bands came on, they are called Night Screamer & were ok, they were followed by a band who I'd also not heard of called Night By Night & they were fantastic, another great find in 2014, during their set the guitarist (Tom) was playing a solo & during the solo he gave his guitar pick to one of my daughters & casually took another pick from his mic stand.
Later during the set, the singer stopped & said he had the 3 youngest metal fans he'd ever seen in front of him (our 3 kids) & proceeded to hand the microphone to them one at a time asking them to tell everyone in the crowd their names, a truely memorable night.
Then, if things couldn't get any better, The lights went down & the trademark intro music began, the moment we'd been waiting for... Neonfly
And it was certainly worth the wait, an outstanding performance & great to hear a few songs from the new album before it's official launch.
I didn't take my camera to this one as I wanted to enjoy the music as much as possible & I certainly wasn't disappointed.
After the show, I bought the new album ( about 12 days before it's release date I think ) & I have to say it's a brilliant album.
All I'm waiting for now is a few gigs to be announced........
