Following on the success of the Open Mic night last month The Royal Oak will now be holding a Music Night every month.
A change of structure this month heralds the start of a regular monthly event.
I will continue to act as host and am joined by Salty Dog who made a suprise appearance last month, captivating the audience with a great set.
This has allowed me to do something that I believe will be welcomed by many. A lot of people have seen Rich Howie before, in short bursts as a host for open mic nights around Cheltenham of playing with his old band, 'Snog the Dog' But it is very rare for Rich to play a full set in his own right. This will be the one NOT to miss!
Music will comprise of a mix of acoustic, blues, folk, roots and contemporary.
Please note that this is not a karaoke event although there will be a short 'open mic' section after Rich's first set. Anyone wishing to play should register early as time is very limited.
Will have to come up and see you let me know the dates all the best Babs and Tony
Tony, (and Babs), Great to hear from you. The first, ‘Open Mic’ last month was a test and was so successful, that we have turned it into a regular monthly event. Not so much Open Mic as, ‘Unplugged’. More or less anything goes, but we don’t really want to encourage it to get too loud. I shall be regular host assisted by ‘ Salty Dog’. These guys turned up on the first night and completely wowed everyone. Rich Howie is a local artist who simply has to be seen to be believed. He runs a lot of Open Mics around, and helped us start up. This will be a rare opportunity to see they guy do two full sets.
