Open mic on the West Rand

PeteM

If I was to offer an acoustic open mic night on a Wednesday in the Muldersdrift area would anybody here attend? Entrance would be free.

What is the venue Pete?

Can't reveal the venue yet Brian... still in concept stage. I'm just trying to find out if it is worth pursuing or not.

For us guy's living on the other side of the world(Edenvale area) all these venue's on the west are just to expensive to get too and return from. The same applies to Jam nights. Aren't there any musicians in this part of the world(Edenvale, Bedfordview, Germiston and further east) that can organise something ? Maybe there are no venue owners that welcome this ? Just wondering

Babbalute, I come from the Edenvale area and also have something in mind for this area as well. But for now I have a venue lined up on the West Rand. It's a hell of a shlep, I know, I'm doing it every week for a while. I would rather do Edenvale and am trying to get a venue to buy into the concept, but I would need to convince them that there is a market of open-micers and also importantly their 'fan club'.

Who on the East Rand would be interested?

no problem Pete ?
Mike Smuts has something going at the Rusty Hook on Tuesday evenings and there is an acoustic afternoon session starting at Chicago's this weekend as well.

The West Rand is not going to happen... not with me anyway.

I'm now investigating the East Rand.
