Open Mike Night 5th March
We keep having one good night after another. Lots of people to thank again.
First of all there was JJ – only the one guitar and standing up! Loved the blues stuff you did – first time for me that I’ve heard you feature the blues in your set.
Nice to see James and Mop again with their refreshing ‘just do it’ attitude to covers which are quite difficult to carry off with just 6 strings and vocal – don’t know many that could tackle the numbers they do successfully. Thanks boys.
Thanks to Adam Gardner for bravely saying ‘f**k it’ to academic success and coming down for a play and a few beers – quite right too! Alex joined him later sans laptop - your songs stand up well without it mate, don’t worry!
First timer Lawrence did one excellent number down the mike and joined in with the rest of his gang ( whose names I will take a week or two to remember!) in the after midnight sing around. Enjoyed your company lads and your music.
Another first timer was Ken – The Shakeys answer to Larry Adler – thanks Ken.
Christmas Tree John and Kev made their regular contribution – what would Wednesdays be without them! Always love ‘that Harvey Andrews One’ and well done to John for remembering all the words to ‘The Sick Note’!
Gaz Marsh came down – on the shandy but still there at the death! Thanks for ’Angel of Montgomery’ !
Finally thanks to Jez Ryder – wish he wouldn’t borrow my guitar - he’s really playing himself back into form but plays my old cheesegrater so well I lose my best excuse for fluffing things !
Poor old Nick didn’t get a look in this week – I’m sure he’ll tell me that you can have too much of a good thing!
Looking forward to next time again!
