Practical Stuff

WHO? WHERE? WHAT?
We are an open mic club meeting every Tuesday at the British Oak pub in Old Dover Road, Blackheath. We are more of an acoustic than a pure folk club. Recent sessions have included virtually every musical genre.

TECH BIT
We have a 300 watt Yamaha PA system with 2 mics and 4 other inputs. If more inputs are needed a Behringer mixer can be made available with prior notice. The space is relatively limited and a four-piece band is probably the optimum.

WANT TO PLAY?
We operate a first come-first served system. There are 10 minutes/2 song slots. It is best to arrive by 8pm to avoid disappointment and ask for Lynne. We only have one rule we ask performers to respect: our excellent host, Peter, prefers people not to publicise gigs in other pubs, which seems fair enough to us.

Tuesday 24th February

A quieter night than usual (the football? the Blackheath-roadworks-inspired gridlock?), did at least see:
- two great new performers (Joe, with some original songs and a great version of Dylan's 'Subterranean Homesick Blues'; and Scott, with his own songs in the Scottish vernacular) .
- some new collaborations (Matt, Jerry and Simon with a Buddy Holly cover); Neil & Jerry tackling Billy Bragg's 'Great Leap Forwards'.
- the return of Mick and Steve.
- some great performances from regulars John, George Matt & Jerry.

We muddled through (just about) without Lynne, but look forward to her taking control of the list of performers again next week!
