Want to walk the same boards that Arno, Pete M, Conrad, Sean, Deefstes, Fingerpicker, Squonk, Keira and other GFSAers have walked? Want to get up in front of people with a guitar just to see what it's like? Have ideas and are looking for an outlet?
Then come to TJ's open mic night next Thursday at Marks Park.
This is not in the big room that is used for most TJ's shows, it's in the Ladies Bar (the old Press Club Bar) which is smaller, less intimidating, cosier. The core audience are supportive and attentive.
TJ's provide a small PA with mics, leads etc. You just need to bring yourself and your guitar (or mandolin, dobro, fiddle etc etc). We can't accommodate electric bands because it takes too long to set them up, and NO BACKING TRACKS (pre-recorded, sequenced, MIDI or whatever - too much PT to set these up for individual performers).
R25 admission (playing or not). Lots of safe parking. There's a bar service and you can order meals from the Marks Park caterers.
Slots are 15 minutes. Get there early and put your name on the board for the time slot you want. Music starts at 20:00.
