Hi everybody,
I need to make this weeks update short and sweet as there are so many things I’ve yet to do in preparation for the Grand Launch of the new Open Mic @ The Joiners Arms this Thursday night, May 14th.
My gut feeling is that this Thursday’s launch is going to be HUGE!
Now, back to last weeks Open Mic @ The Dan. It certainly was full of surprises:
- The first 15 spots were filled by 6:40pm. Talk about the quick or the dead.
- Paul Warren played his first solo performance. Good onya Paul
- The “Messiah Of Desire” Brett Stokes returned to the Open Mic stage. Welcome back mate.
- Newcomers Deb Tapfield and Jordan gave us a mesmerising performance. Just stunning.
- Risemann (Nathan Hein and his band) played as a duo. Very cool.
But wait, there’s more…
- David Cronin performing for the first time in ages
- Brendan Lines and his Didge
- Lindsay Boyd. It just gets better and better
- Anthony D’Antonio and his music history lessons
- Mel Sander & Ross Neilson playing some Cheap Trick. Love it!
I must say, the whole night for me was one big highlight. I love coming to Open Mic, I look forward to it and to see and hear so many others feeling the same way about it makes me feel really warm and fuzzy inside.
Awww…
Anyways, here is a reminder of what’s happening this week:
