Open Mic Network Update – May 3rd, 2010

Hi everybody,

New month = new beginnings, the time is almost upon us… It’s almost time to unleash the Open Mic @ The Third Cork this Thursday night May 6th from 8pm until Midnight.

The Third Cork is a beautiful wine bar located upstairs at 26 Semaphore Road (next to Semaphore Foodland). With great food, drink and views (and of course the music from the Open Mic community plus the wonderful musicians around the Semaphore area), this Open Mic promises to be a wonderfully inspiring event which will occur on the first Thursday of every month. I hope to see you all there because this is going to be HUGE!

Last weeks Open Mic @ The Dan proved to be another successful evening of quality performances and all round good times. There were no new faces gracing the Open Mic stage however, there was the return of Tim Forth after a little absence plus, the Open Mic debut of Melody Feder (from Pretty Radio) as a soloist.

In other Open Mic news…

1. Live & Local @ The Metro went off in a big way last Tuesday night and a big congrats goes out to John and Stewart for putting on a brilliant evening. The space is great, the PA was really good and the venue itself had a really cool vibe to it.

2. The Open Mic Network Facebook Group has just surpassed 200 members which is a great achievement in such a short space of time. In time this Facebook group will be one of the places where you can get up to date information on Open Mics around town and a great opportunity for other Open Mics and the performers that use them to promote themselves. If you haven’t become a member of the group I suggest that you do so and watch this space…
