Fantastic Saturday afternoon of Open mic magic..
Thanks to all that came along and shared your music.
Once again thank you to the team at Hodfellow's Brewing Co. For putting on these events.
Next November dates:
Saturday 16th 3-6pm
Saturday 30th 3-6pm
Nervous about attending an open mic? Don't be, you don't need to be PERFECT. Just willing to get up and have a go.
To prove my point ... Here is international superstar Phil Collins... Watch at 0:28sec and he makes a little mistake on the piano, and has himself a little giggle.
However here's a few simple tips to prepare:
1. TUNE UP.. before you get on stage. Most hosts will inform you that you're on next .. that's not your tip to scull 1 more beer !! It's your notice to prep yourself for a smooth changeover of acts.
2. SET LIST: have a list ready of songs you intend to play.. always throw in a few extra in case someone else has already played it, or you get a chance to do a longer set.
3: NETWORK: engage with the other performers and staff. Don't just rush off after you play.... You never know where it might lead.
4: ASK FOR A GIG: If you are gig ready and are seeking gigs, ask someone to film your performance to upload to your social media, or even better ask if the venue manager could watch you for at least a short period. Consider it a mini audition
Whatever your level of ability, just enjoy.

Thinking about trialling out a new open mic concept..
Acts have 30 seconds to impress the audience, who then vote via phone app "STAY" or "NAY"..
Obviously this guy got voted NAY.... And was ejected. π
Or.... You can just come along this Saturday 24th 6-9pm and have a judgement free play/sing πΈπ€
1st birthday celebrations kick of at Midday... Pro duo on from 3-6pm.
