'Fudge, Freqs n Friends'

Long time since I wrote a blog, however I need to ramble...
Fudge, Freqs n Friends
Fudge and the Frequency are a hard working Futuristic Funk band. http://www.fudgeandthefrequency.com/ ... http://www.designmynight.com/london/whats-on/live-music/fudge-the-frequency-24-hours-no-sleep-video-launch
Once you have heard them you can't help but be pleased to be called a 'Freq' & to embrace the vibe & continue to spread the 'Frequency' where-ever you go.
A Fudgey music family has developed around the band, fun has been had, good music shared, contacts have been made but more importantly friendships developed over time.
The band are great at interacting with the crowd, however they are often warming up in the Green room, doing interviews etc and it means they don't see all the interactions before, during and after the show.
It's possible that they do not realise how they bring people together through their music.  . . but they do, trust me they do & it's a beautiful thing.
Sadly earlier this month a self declared 'Freq' lost his life suddenly.
Not only did he enjoy the music and have a special 'unspoken' bond with Fudge Jarceh, he was also the actor in their video for the track 'Never too Old to Dance'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPxbjXDIGX0
His name was Nigel Genis, He was an actor & singer amongst many interesting things.
Since he had done the video he mentioned many times how pleased he had been to be part of it, but he was more pleased that he genuinely loved the band and made a point of attending gigs, showing support & jumping on the stage to dance & sing with Fudge which he always enjoyed & the crowd loved.
Like many, he truely believed in the band and where they were going. Fortunately he had told them this.
Saturday 28th March is the live launch of  the new Fudge and the Frequency track '24 Hours No Sleep'. http://www.designmynight.com/london/whats-on/live-music/fudge-the-frequency-24-hours-no-sleep-video-launch
After months of hard work behind the scenes it promises to be a night full of good music, a buzzing atmosphere & excitement, as there is always a surprise of some sort thrown in, however there is a natural excitement that surrounds these guys n girls..
You WILL want to dance, nod your head or do your funky thang, really you will.
The track is upbeat & the video is likely to be full of dancing, proper body bending, muscle stretching, body popping dancing!
The gig will be played in memory, celebration & thanks for the life of Nigel Genis.
Nigel will be sorely missed and we will dance & sing in his memory.
Thank you to Fudge and the Frequency, not just for the mind blowing music but for all the extra bits you bring without realising it.
Through your music you brought Nigel Genis into my life & it feels richer for it.

Do I think Nigel is resting in peace? No, no I do not.
He seemed a peaceful man yet I like to think he is getting his funk on, living it up, and even though we won't see him at the gigs I do believe we will 'feel' him & the great vibe he had showered us with.
Rest in Musical Funk Nigel Genis, my fellow Freq & friend.....xXx
