Open Mic Network Update – July 5th, 2010

Hi everybody,

My apologies for not having last weeks update online, I just simply ran out of time last week but I will make it up to you this week.

Open Mic @ The Dan
Over the last fortnight the Open Mic @ The Dan has enjoyed a resurgence in performer numbers. Even though we’re in the midst of a very cold winter for Adelaide standards the need to hang out at The Dan on a Wednesday night transcends the cold.

Besides, the open fire at The Dan is very, very enticing indeed, just like the talent that has been gracing the Open Mic stage of late.

We had three new faces at The Dan over the last couple of weeks. In the first week, we had Jasper Cownie who put on a fantastic show that the performer friendly audience couldn’t get enough of.

Last week we had a duo consisting of Melbournites Larissa Agosti and Kath Nelligan and man, did they tear the house down. Great songwriting, great stage presence and great harmonies. Larissa had a CD for sale which I purchased and listened to soon after. I was very impressed.

Open Mic @ The Third Cork
Last Thursday saw the third instalment of the monthly Open Mic @ The Third Cork and let me just say that it was absolutely brilliant both in atmosphere and in sheer talent. Every performer who graced the stage at The Third Cork was a quality act including 2 new faces.

The new faces were Melissa Waters and a duo called Dr Nick. Thanks for coming down, hope to see you again real at the next Open Mic @ The Third Cork which will be on Thursday August 5th.

A big thanks also goes out to Catherine and her crew at The Third Cork for making us all feel very, very welcome (and for those yummy pizzas). Can’t wait for August 5th.

In other Open Mic Network news…

Sunday Sessions @ The Dan Starts July 11th
It’s not long to go until the first “Sunday Sessions” @ The Dan gets underway on Sunday July 11th. In case you’re wondering, the Sunday Sessions is essentially the Open Mic @ The Dan but on a Sunday and with a special guest performer thrown into the mix for good measure.

The special guest performer for the first Sunday Sessions is none other than Anthony D’Antonio (YAY!)

It kicks off at 5pm (with Anthony starting a 40 minute set from between 6pm and 6:30pm) and finishing at 9pm so you have time to hit the hay at a reasonable hour in preparation for the start of the working week. I’ll be at The Dan from between 3pm and 3:30pm to take down names.

Please bear in mind, this is on a 3 month trial so the more people that go to these sessions, the better chance we have at making this a permanent fixture on The Dan’s entertainment calendar.

What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than with great friends, great food/drink and great music.

Here’s a reminder of what is happening this week on the Open Mic Network:
