Open Mic Network Update – February 21, 2011

Hi everybody,

Yes, I know there’s been no updates for a couple of weeks but I’ll reveal the reason for this later on in the update.

The Open Mic @ The Dan has continued to gain strength in performing numbers. Even with the 2011 Adelaide Fringe banging on the door the crowds have been flocking to The Dan to catch some pretty amazing performances.

We have also had a lot of new faces gracing the Open Mic stages at The Dan as well as the Third Cork.

They are:

Ryan Adam Wells – An American here for the Fringe

Underground Orchid – A 4 piece acoustic outfit with great harmonies

AvaLanche – A sax playing beat poet. Mesmerising!

Gary Douglas – A guitarist with a great choice of songs

Brian Dodderidge – Solo performer with a large song catalogue

Speaking of the Open Mic @ The Third Cork, we were very short on performers on the first Thursday in February but then again the weather wasn’t very conducive to going out and having a night on the town (or by the sea as is the case with The Third Cork).

A reminder for you all that the next Open Mic @ The Third Cork is Thursday March 3rd. Come along and tell all your friends.

New Open Mic Network Website Launch
After taking a couple of weeks off updating just to finalise a few things the new Open Mic Network website is now finally up and running.

You can find it at the new, easier to remember URL – www.openmicnetwork.com.

Personally, the new site has a much better look and feel plus, it’s a lot easier to navigate around, a lot more user friendly than the old site. I’m still going to keep the old website up but as of next week it will point to the new site.

This website like any good website is going to be a constant work in progress especially when it comes to the updating and management of relevant content and the maintaining of communication with the Open Mic community.

This is where you come in…

If you have any audio, video or pictures of any Open Mic performance (whether it be yourself performing or others that you have recorded for posterity) and you want to include it on this site then contact me and we can work something out.

I will of course give credit for your work.

Over time it’s my goal to build the new Open Mic Network website into an online hub which will facilitate a “Community Of Open Mic Communities” all working together to promote grassroots music making and performing in Adelaide, South Australia and beyond.

Check out the new website when you can and let me know what you think. If there’s anything you want to see on the site or, if you just want to send through some feedback feel free to contact me. I’d love to hear from all of you

OK, here’s a reminder of what is happening in the coming weeks on the Open Mic Network. Make sure you mark these dates on your calendar in BOLD RED PEN:

Corey
