Do you ever venture out in your neck of woods to check out the 'Open Mic' nights that happen in your local clubs?
An old friend I've recently connected with introduced me to this place, and the deal is you sign your name down on the list and you're good for three songs when your time comes up.

In this video, the Gent singing asked a few of the folks there to join him, and this was the result... pretty cool how this all comes together nicely.
A well run little local Tuesday night event that seems to have almost 20 performers each week. Many folks are in the pub to enjoy a meal or a pint, and the whole atmosphere is very similar to The Fret where there doesn't seem to be many judmental Folks, just a good supportive crew.
I've gotten up recently with my friend (playing bass here) a few times recently (and onsite support musicians) and had a really good experience!
I'm hoping this becomes a regular 'Tuesday Night' event where I can kick back and listen, and maybe play a bit of music too.
Anyone here have something similar that they participate in? :munch:
Cheers :beer:
