Volta Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi folks.Anyone else intersted in hitting the open-mic nights to try out new songs and hone their performing skills?I'm just starting out playing live so don't know too many folks in the local scene. So if anyone else is on the same boat, PM me and we can meet up and hit some venues.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FezMonkey Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 The Tunnels open mic is good. Scott, the host, is great for the banter, and you don't get shot down like you do at some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 And some people at that thing seriously deserve shooting south.'Sorry, I've had waaay too much to drink' is probably the most opted for stage banter to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volta Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yip, planning on hitting the tunnels. Tuesday night I think it is?I've done open mics in Glasgow and foolishly tried a very new song after a few too much. Forgot all the words but nevertheless mumbled through to the end. Ye learn from your mistakes though. Best thing was just to get back up and do it again the next week... sober. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I just opt for a Wednesday evening at the Drummonds one pretty regularly. Pretty relaxed, free pint, Mr Milne now hosting, bothy ballad man (plus customary stamp-along)... it's all good.Even had Frank Turner doing a Chriss T-T cover in there not long ago.

Volta Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Was planning on doing mostly originals and then chuck in a cover or two to appease any drunken crowds who fancy a sing along. There's a few I know of. Tunnels on tues, Drummonds wed, Cellar35 thur, macamerons every 2nd sunday and a new one at the globe every sunday. Plenty opportunites to get started.
