Open Mic Network Update – May 23rd, 2010

Hi everybody,

My apologies for not putting out an update last week, I’ll try and make it up to you all this week.

The Open Mic @ The Dan has been steady in attendance over the last couple of weeks. The mad rush to get onto the list at the beginning of the night is not so hectic but the list is full by the end of the night which makes my job a little easier and still ensures that most importantly, whoever is on the list gets a go on the stage.

A Bloody Big Crowd

I think the change in the weather has caught some people by surprise which (like me) has made them a little sick now that cold/flu season is now upon us. Never mind, we’ll just keep soldiering on making sure that Wednesday nights are a highlight of your week.

There have been a number of new faces gracing the Open Mic stage over the last fortnight, they are:

• The DeeTees (Chris Dewin and Marcus Walsh)
• Fledderjohn
• Rhianna Ford (WOW! What a voice)
• Jemma Molton (one half a Pretty Radio, not necessarily new but different)
• Craig Atkins (YAY! About time)
• Michael K

Thanks so much for giving the Open Mic @ The Dan a go. You’re welcome back anytime

Craig Atkins - The face just says it all

In other Open Mic Network news…

1. You would’ve noticed if you were at the Open Mic @ The Dan over the last fortnight that I was conducting a bit of a survey. You see, both Darren and I are negotiating with The Dan to extend the Open Mic concept to a fortnightly Sunday afternoon/evening under the working title of “Sunday Sessions @ The Dan”.

It’s still an Open Mic however there will also be a paid 30-45 minute “guest artist” spot (which must be all originals) included in the lineup which will create more gigging opportunities for Open Mic’ers and Adelaide musicians as a whole. Darren and I will book the spot.

The survey questions are:

• Would you attend a Sunday Session?
• What time-slot would you prefer (2pm – 6pm), (4pm – 8pm), (6pm – 10pm)?

If you have any thoughts regarding this then please let me know by email or on the Open Mic Network Facebook Discussion Page.

2. It’s almost that time again to pack your picnic basket and your jerry can for a trip to Semaphore for the next installment of the monthly Open Mic @ The Third Cork. The first one was a success and from what I’ve been hearing, the next one is going to be just as big. It’s happening on June 3rd and my tip for the evening is to get in early and grab yourself one of their pizzas – YUMMY!

Just a reminder of what is happening this week…
