The Secret Policemans Ball

Groove Temple were party to a top secret operation on the weekend, helping a gorgeous young lady by the name of Liz Joyce celebrate a milestone birthday as a surprise party at the Waters Edge Cafe on the Shoalhaven River. The boys from GT met the challenge of playing in a restricted space in their usual "suck & see" style, delivering a well balanced punchy sound with less than half of their usual amp power.

"It was great to be with people so obviously out for a good time. It's very contagious, and the food was outstanding" reports Ang, lead singer. "I'd never heard of this place before and must have driven past it hundreds of times on the way to other gigs. The Mastright's seriously know what they're doing with food and venue management. The chicken was "delish".... I'm hoping we get more work there, if only just for the food. Gourmet food is one of my weaknesses. Yes, there are many. Oh yes they even made an Italian polenta dish, which scores very highly in my book.(I made sure I gave them a business card before I left)"

"It was a balmy night and I went out for some fresh air and stumbled across a couple making love on the grass of the banks of the Shoalhaven River. They weren't from the party. I think they pretended not to notice me and I was quite amused at my own embarrassment. I retreated back to the party thinking maybe there's something in the air around here."

Back to the party -The food must have done the trick for the band, because they proceeded to play up a storm and it wasn't just some of the local constabulary kicking up their heels. Everyone seemed to be making new friends on the night or catching up with old ones and all had a sensational time. Surely it cant get any better than this.

Groove Temple will be belting out more great some tunes on Friday 3rd March at the Ocean Beach Hotel in Shellharbour (Dr K's home town) and will be eager to have a few beers with the locals. It's a tough life, but somebody has to do it!!!!
