I've been asked to host and manage open mic nights at Musketeers, a pub in Conabor Rd, Malvern, Queensburgh.
These will be held every Tuesday evening starting from 9th August. The open mic begins at 7pm and ends at 11pm.
The platform is to encourage new / inexperienced musos to come and play three or four numbers to get experience playing in front of an audience. Of course they are also encouraged to bring their 'fan' base with them. The more experienced players are also most welcome.
The audience there, the regulars, are a forgiving bunch and are super-supportive of new talent.
Performers can play solo, in duos or in a whole band... in any genre... anything goes. I expect mainly guitarist / singers to attend but all musos are welcome... from oboe to trombone players.
I will be supplying a PA with two mics and a guitar amp. Bass players will have to bring their own amps, and of course musos must bring their own instruments.
I'm starting off from a near-zero base of performers, so to begin with you can just pitch and I'll fit you in. As and when it becomes more popular (hopefully) I will have to start booking places in advance.
Entrance is free, the food is good and the booze flows freely.
I hope to see the Durbs contingent of GFSA members there.
PM me if you want more details.
