New Fire In The Old Camp is an ex­cit­ing new con­cert se­ries which fea­tures the best of T&T's non-main­stream and in­de­pen­dent bands and mu­si­cians.

On the first Thurs­day of every month, the stage at the De Nu Pub (for­mer­ly Mas Camp Pub) is set alight with live mu­sic. Or­ange Sky, Gillian Moor, West In­di­an Rhythm Kon­nec­tion and Joint­pop have al­ready brought their brand of fire to the stage.

A re­lease from the or­gan­is­ers said New Fire At The Old Camp will present Hard Lo­cal, No Im­ports Au­gust 7, fea­tur­ing Trin­bag­on­ian hip-hop artistes–Young Rudd, Da Face and En­gin­ear, Mark Hardy, Frost Blaze, Mecas­mi­as­tic and St Ans.

Ac­cord­ing to the re­lease, there will be "No im­port­ed ac­cents here, this is Trin­bag­on­ian hip hop and rap. Our sto­ries, our rhythm, our flow–the con­tin­u­a­tion of our oral tra­di­tion."

New Fire In The Old Camp is a se­ries start­ed by Ger­ry An­tho­ny. His ex­pe­ri­ence as a sound en­gi­neer and as a mu­si­cian and his be­lief in the need for fo­rums for artistes to have a space to com­mu­ni­cate with a wider au­di­ence are some of the dri­ving forces be­hind the se­ries.

The live in­ter­ac­tion be­tween au­di­ence and per­former is a pro­found ex­change and goes be­yond sim­ply ex­pe­ri­enc­ing the va­ri­ety and depth of mu­si­cal tal­ent we have in Trinidad and To­ba­go. It is def­i­nite ac­tion to make our so­ci­ety bet­ter.

The New Fire se­ries takes place on the first Thurs­day of the month at De Nu Pub, cor­ner French Street and Ari­api­ta Av­enue, Port-of-Spain.
