Hey there,
I have an open mic competition in my bar every wednesday evening with a 100euro prize!! If you wanna enter or know anyone who would, just gimme a buzz on 087 6956540. Its the legal eagle bar beside the four courts.

Jazz :cool:

Also, it can be one or two people per act in the open mic. We have two guitar leads and two microphones!!!

I am MAN · 22-11-2004 11:02AM

How many songs are needed??

Fairly new but wouldnt mind doing this

Jazzman · 22-11-2004 03:30PM

Well if there are 8 or less acts on the night, its 3 songs each. If its between 8 and 12 acts, its 2 songs each and then 1 more song in the final. Its a good place to start practicing in front of a crowd. :cool:

Jazzman · 23-11-2004 11:04PM

Also, it's a good idea to ring and book a slot 2/3 days in advance!!

I am MAN · 24-11-2004 08:44AM

If it's an ongoing thing I may be booking a slot in a few weeks, not quite confident enough yet.

Jazzman · 24-11-2004 02:08PM

No worries mate. Why don't you come down and check it out tonight and see what you think??

Jazzman · 27-11-2004 08:00PM

By the way, its free admission for anyone to watch! :cool:

ShriekingSheet · 29-11-2004 03:15PM

hey jazz man,

yeah i saw the sign up for this the saturday before last! I think i will. Is the crowd fairly conservative or anything like the 12ten crowd on a saturday?

Jazzman · 30-11-2004 12:14AM

It's a different sort of crowd mate. Conservative compared to a house music night! The crowd is usually the musicans friends!! Its your crowd. Just gimme a buzz man if you have any questions.
:cool:

ShriekingSheet · 30-11-2004 01:48PM

Ok well count me in

Tomorrow night?

I'll pm you my number

ShriekingSheet · 02-12-2004 02:41PM

Did this last night, It's well worth going to - good experience!
Standard is decent. I played abismal though ha ha, but enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to anyone thinkin about doin it!

It wasn't me! · 03-12-2004 08:30PM

Hey. I assume this is over-eighteens only? If it's not I'd be interested. If it is I don't suppose you intend doing an all-ages one?

Jazzman · 04-12-2004 06:49PM

Unfortunetly, it would be in accordance with the bar licence. So seeing as its on at night, well it would be over 18's. Sorry about that. I think that there is an all ages open mic on in Slattery's on Capel street at some stage. Give them a ring and ask for Paddy Fogarty. Sorry mate.

It wasn't me! · 04-12-2004 10:45PM

No worries man. Thanks anyway. No hope of an all-ages version at any stage?

Bungalow Bill · 05-12-2004 02:32PM

I'd be interested. I've played at one or two of these things before though and they weren't really that good. Its sometimes really difficult to make yourself heard. Is it like that here? Or do people actually listen to ye!!?

ShriekingSheet · 06-12-2004 11:25AM

the sound is fine - mic sounds good and yeah people do actually listen, that's generally what they come to do it seems!

Oh cool, there's nothing worse than indifference to you when you're performing. I'll get a few tunes together and hopefully do it next week or the week after. I've got one problem though, my guitar isn't semi-acoustic. Are you allowed use a proper electric or is there a semi in the place?

Jazzman · 06-12-2004 03:08PM

It's gotta be semi ecoustic unfortunetly, you could maybe borrow one from a mate or we could try get you one on the night??!?!

Hopefully I'll be in contact with you soon enough anyway, I'll go and pester my musician friends, cheers Jazzman.

darkened_corner · 10-12-2004 08:27AM

I'll definitely be getting back to you on this one. Just need to organise my stuff (and practise practise practise - of course

)

Jazzman · 14-12-2004 02:38AM

Got a few slots open for this wednesday (the 15th). Anyone interested????? :cool:

Bungalow Bill · 14-12-2004 05:02PM

:mad:
I'd be very interested jazzman but alas I couldn't get a semi-acoustic. Is it still on on the 22nd?

Jazzman · 19-12-2004 03:26PM

I'd be up for doing this, but I'll have to get a few more tunes written up. Should be ready in a few weeks.
