TGI Friday’s

The 2008 TGI’s National Bar flaring competition was held at the infamous Covent Garden TGI restaurant, and included a night full of fantastic cocktail tricks and funky mixing moves.

Nine competitors for best bar tender, five bar flares and a spell binding show by Nicholas Saint Jean the world famous bar Midori Bar Flare, created an unforgettable night which Sounds Commercial had the responsibility to capture on camera and later edit to create a show reel that reflected the action packed evening.

From 6pm crowds started to arrive to get the best view of the night’s proceedings, sampling cocktails to get in the party mood. As the restaurant filled up with spectators, back stage the nerves began to hit for TGI contenders. The contestants travelled from all over the UK to take part, and had to complete tasks such as cocktail creating, spinning and pouring to wow the judges and win the highly renowned title of UK Bar Tender of the Year.

Sounds Commercial provided filming to a broadcast standard to get amazing action shots and details of every pour, down to the last drop! The final edit was completed by our in house studio team and created picture perfect memories for everyone who attended that night.
