OLD BOOKBINDERS OPEN MIC
Dec 31, 2009
For all those that can make it we've got an open mic session at the Bookbinders to ring in 2010. Hope you can make it. Great live music in good company.
Here on the website we've got 34 artists (and counting) with over 50 songs (and counting), so progress is good. Let's keep up the momentum in 2010.
All the best, and thanks for making the Bookbinders Open Mic the thriving nugget of musical success that it has been.
Happy New Year.

The Beatles Open Mic last Sunday (20th Sept) was fabulous, thanks to all the musicians who put in loads of work to get those pesky chords and harmonies just right. There were 28 songs played on the night, 16 Beatles songs (with a couple of versions of A Day in the Life). There were lots of new faces and voices too, which is always nice. Some of the songs (the original ones) will appear on this website over the next few days, so watch this page.
More themed nights might be on the way, ideas welcome, just let me know on nigelpbrown@yahoo.co.uk.
Thanks again.

The Beatles Open Mic on 20th September is, as some already know, different from the usual in the sense that we're offering advanced booking for that night only.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you feel, we've already filled the bill (as of Sat 12th), so if you want to play a Beatles song, and you haven't already booked one with me, Nigel) it's unlikely you'll get to play. But not impossible! it's an open mic after all.
Please come along anyway and enjoy the Beatles as you've never heard them before...

This coming Thursday (13th Aug), Linn Johansson and I are doing a gig at the Bookbinders. Linn's an old friend of the Open Mic, an enthusiastic supporter and deliverer of live music. Hope to see you down there.

The Jericho Street Fair was a fabulous success, thanks to Chris Padmore especially - he's an open mic regular and he co-ordinated the whole JSF Bookbinder Stage, and thanks to Maureen and Matty who kept us all lubricated, to the performers who put in so much effort to make it a great day, and to the audience who turned out in record numbers. It was wonderful.
Cheers

Looking forward very much to the Jericho Street Fair, this coming Saturday, 13 June, it'll be good to see you down there, getting involved in the stalls, music, dancing, drinking and general fun-having that is to be had from noon till night.
Cheers

A grateful thanks to all muzos, audience and barstaff at the Bookbinders - the New Year's Eve open mic session was phenomenal, as always, with some fabulous crowd participation, thanks to all for coming down and making it great. Let's keep it live and thriving in 2010. Business as usual tonight and every Sunday night from 8. Cheers Nigel - open mic organiser Jean - landlord
