Folk at the Oak – 29th September

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Event Sept 29

Another packed evening of Blues, Folk, and Acoustic Rock.

Resident Host: Roger Nuttall, (Folk and Acoustic Rock).
Special Guest: Bob Thomas, (Blues and Steel Guitar)
Supporting Artist: Martin Vogwell, (Folk and Contemporary)
One or two spot guests will also be appearing during the evening.

This month's Special Guest is well respected on the circuit as a great performer and entertainer. If you haven't heard a steel guitar at it's best you really need to see Bob.

Our support artist this month is Martin Vogwell. This is really a preview of his full set at Folk at the Oak in November.

Please note that we are starting at the new start time of 8:00 due to a packed schedule for the evening.

You do really need to arrive early, it could get busy!

Royal Oak Open Mic Night

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

Royal Oak

Brilliant news.  Darren, the landlord of the Royal Oak has given the go ahead for an Open Mic night on Wednesday, 21st, July.

The first night will be a 'pilot' but I am sure that it will just be the first of many.

Rich Howie will be assisting me on the night and I'm sure that fans of Rich will be excited with the new venue.  Rich is well know around Cheltenham and is the resident host at The Prince of Wales in Portland St.

The night will be a mix of music ranging from Folk, Blues and Rock.  Experience has taught me that acoustic sets can't easily follow a rock set, especially when Murry or one of his mates is on the drums. 

Also, I am keen to give newcomers a chance to air their stuff and to pick up some tips from the 'Pros'. Therefore, there is an hour put aside for them before the main event and before the public arrive.

A rough timetable for the evening is as follows:

7:00 - 8:00  Beginner's Workshop.

8:00 - 9:30  Acoustic and Unplugged.  (Yes, electric guitars can be used but no drums and bass at this time).

9:30 - 11:00  Anything goes. (Drums, Bass, Guitar, Sax, Keyboards etc.)

The whole idea is for individuals to play a few numbers, but everybody is invited to enter into the spirit with a jam whenever appropriate.

Pleas note that this is not a karaoke event although singers are invited to jam with the musicians.

There is no need for anyone to register in advance, but it would be nice to hear from anyone likely to attend that night musician, or visitor.
