I've been running a weekly acoustic music session at our local pub for a while. Once a month we have an open mic night where people can perform for friends. I was nervous when we started these, but I've gained confidence. I've even started writing my own songs that go down well. The audience may only be around thirty people, but it's a fun atmosphere.
Some of these feature our regular drummer Alan. Some of the others supplied backing vocals. It's all very informal with no real rehearsal, but music is for the moment. If you make a mistake then just move on. In this case it was recorded by my friend Steve who also supplied the PA. It was just a microphone near one of the speakers and it got overloaded at times, but I think it captured the atmosphere.
If you are anywhere near Arlesey then come along. If you sing or play an instrument then you are welcome to take part. We have everyone from beginners to semi-professionals.
