In 2005 Groovenik held a sold out launnch event, at the prestigious venue The Sage Gateshead, then racked up some high profile support gigs includi ing Gwen McCrae, Bonobo, Quantic Soul Orchest tra, Kokolo, New Mastersounds and Antibalas. Also winnning a national competition with PRS and the Eddinburgh fringe, the band then honed their unique blend of Funk, Soul, Jazz, Hip hop, Latin and Afro music with concerts in the North East and a self promoted UK tour. Founding member Richard Owen (Bass) and Nicky y Ortega (Drums) then mmade some major line up changes to the band, en nlisting Ruth Silversides (V Vocals) and Lloyd Wright (Guitar) to join the grou up. The new Groovenik began what would become a two year developme ent and production for th his exciting new album. It took almost 500 hours in Richard's home studio, 200 cups of herbal tea, 233 musicians and a great deal of determination to o complete this ambitious prroject. The industry reaction shows it was time w well spent.Choose Your Frame features the Groo ovenik horns and many talented guest musicians from the North East, including rapper Drop Dead Fred from m The 27 Club, vocalist Brooke MacArthur, percussionist Brendan Murphy and saxophonist Dave Wilde. This is an independent release produuced in the North East of England.
