    as in just a karaoke kinda thing or are you providin equipment for full bands?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    It's for singer/songwriters. Up to two people per act. We have two microphones and two guitar leads. Pretty simple set up, come down and check it out sometime if you're interested!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,975 ✭✭✭Oeneus


    You should get in a piano/digital piano as well. The competitions would be much more ineresting. There's nothing more boring than someone strumming a 3 chord pattern.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    We've had some musicians bring in their piano, unfortunetly we dont supply the instruments, just the equipment. Also, for anyone who is interested, it's a good idea to ring and book a slot 2/3 days in advance!

    What about Sax players?

    I'd love to have sax players!! That would be great, we have had guitarists, violinists, and pianists. That would be very interesting. Why don't you come down and see what the night is like and then decide if you'd like to play!

    I'd be on for it - maybe sometime in January? Band is Texas Galaxy but I can play by myself - a handful of songs or whatever. Drop me a line at r_crosbie@hotmail.com, or visit the site (click image below).

    Thanks to all who came down to the charity gig. Great night with great talent for a good cause. Open mic night still going every wednesday, always looking for new blood!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭The Fitz


    sound like a good idea, just one problem though, having guitars and NOT having a drummer, thats why busted are crap, provide a drummer and you'll improve crowds and applications


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    no drums unfortunetly but some of the guys bring those bongo things or the one you sit on! Drums would be too much for the venue!

    1. I don't think he's looking for kiddies bands like Busted - it's a bar, not a playgroup
    2. Having no drummer is probably the last reason i'd give as to why Busted are crap!

    Looking for new blood for the open mic night guys, sing a few songs with the chance of winning 100euro!!!!!!!! How easier could u make 100???? dont answer that hehe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    We are thinking of pulling the 100uero prize from the open mic for maybe 8 weeks and still running the night but each week 2 people go through to have a song put on a cd that we would release after the eight weeks!!! Thoughts please????


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    The CD would probably be released to the likes of Tower Records, not quite sure yet, just an idea in the pipeline.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Jazzman


    Just letting you good people know that the open mic is tonight, (wed), "Anima" are playing tomorrow and The Brand are in on Friday, all great music if you're around!
