I'm finding Sunday nights are currently lacking in job satisfaction. The open mic should be fun, but only infrequently has everything clicked together as something cohesive... err like music. The early part of the evening is starting to gel, but later on it gets patchy. We've come close to the mark a few times, but failed to reach critical mass.

The solution to this would be an in-house band with a large revolving cast. There are already some good musicians in regular attendance, but the numbers need to swell substantially in order to take things to reach the desired level. The house band would need to gradually craft a repatoire of tunes.

Unfortunately there would be no direct payment for any services rendered... last time we tried this it attracted some decent people but also a small faction of small minded mercenary take, take take, type participant... there would however be a demonstration of appreciation by other means.

The bar provides all necessary equipment, even including sticks, strings, and picks... let alone the amps, instruments, and kit.

We're looking for people that have nothing better to do on a Sunday night than figure out how to play a bunch of tunes they probably don't know, surrounded by musicians they've probably never played with, while getting wasted on the cheap. Arrangements can be reached regarding any transport issues etc.

Prospective participants would have to be capable of enduring weeks of embaressment before things start to ROCK. They'd have to want to do this for the same reason I do - for the crack. That's crack with a small 'c' BTW.

Get in touch if you're interested. I'll even get t-shirts printed, something like "I suck at The Moorings every Sunday".

Craig is 18 in a week so we'll prob. both be down on Sundays to lend some 4 & 6 string action.

Has the last line not answered the payment question then?



Oh and by the way - this is a joke! Before some sort of argument ensues.

They do, they were fixed - you just need to push HARDER. They're regulation prison strength. Next time you're in I'll demonstrate.

The (cough) urinal extension installed today, so hopefully that'll keep this pish off the floor.

Your obsession with our toilets has completely altered my preconceptions of aging punk rockers. I bet you use pink quadruple ply extra soft velvet new born puppy bog roll at home. The confirms my suspicion that Vivian from the Young Ones was a fictional character.
