Open Mic Network Update – April 26th, 2010

Hi everybody,

**Lest We Forget**

Last weeks Open Mic @ The Dan was an absolute record breaker.

We had 22 performers grace the Open Mic stage and to fit everybody in we started at 7pm instead of 8pm making it the busiest Open Mic @ The Dan in its three and a half year history. With every week that passes the Open Mic @ The Dan just keeps getting better and better in terms of attendance and performance quality.

Personally I want to thank each and every one of you who came out and participated in an amazing night especially the 3 new faces that were nestled amongst the 22 performers:

Dave and Renee – From Canberra and in Adelaide because of the recent Special Olympics, they sung up and absolute storm

Ben Roberts – From “The Timbers” (Simon Basey also played last week), an amazing guitarist that impressed

Daniel Cupit – Friend of Ben and Simon of The Timbers, I really enjoyed what he played

Keep spreading the word, and tell all your friends.

In other Open Mic news…

1. The SCALA “Open Mic To Stage” Songwriting Showcase that I programmed at Higher Ground last Thursday was an amazing success. It was very well attended and all of the acts that performed (Shane Noonan, Rob Pickering, Peter Clayton, Pretty Radio plus Andy and Marta) had a wonderful time. I want to thank Rob Childs at SCALA for allowing me to take over one of their nights. The next SCALA “Open Mic To Stage” Songwriting Showcase will be happening on June 17th but I’ll give you more information about this event as it comes to hand.
