From Strength to Strength

Coppull Open Mic nights are going from strength to strength. Last Wed nesday, 23^rd September, there were new acts and musicians along with the ever-present regulars.

Neil, the demon drummer from Bury, joined us again and gave backing for the rockier numbers, while softer ballads also got an airing.

This gives a great mix of music to listen to for the audience. Besides that and free butties, we have more performers on the way.

We're also getting some great jam sessions going with performers swapping from band to band!

If you feel like having a go, just drop in. To contact us, see details alongside. The next session is Wednesday 21^st October (STC.)

As Thomas à Beckett once said, the nights are drawing in - so come and join us at Coppull Open Mic for a great evening.

Good Golly! - A Drummer!

Drumming up support for the rest of the string strummers was Neil, making a welcome debut on drums, at last month's Open Mic Night. Neil had brought his tom-toms all the way over from Bury and accompanied just about every act on in the evening, giving a real kick to proceedings, and showed no problem backing songs he'd never even heard before!

Sadly, no-one had thought to bring a camera on this particular night to get photographic evidence, so you'll just have to take our word for it.

Hopefully he will be back for this month's session, Wednesday, September 23rd, from 9 o'clock onwards. Everybody welcome, players and watchers alike.

Meanwhile, here are some pictures from May's session unseen up to now. When you see how talented the audience are, just imagine what the musicians sound like.

(Or you might not have to - I'm hoping to add a video clip to this post -fingers crossed!)
