Oh, And, By The Way...
Anyone who comes to Coppull Open Mic - and I do mean ANYONE - can post comments and pictures on this site. (However, abusive things won't get through, so no fighting, boys and girls.)
For example, if you want to put down what songs you did next to a picture of yourself, you can, and it would create a jolly useful record of what's been going on that we can all look back on in our old age, blah drone (how DARE you say we're already are OLD!?!)
Just send an email by the address coppullopenmic@live.co.uk and you will get back an invitation to 'join' the site as a blogger, then off you go!
(Of course, most people get horribly confused at this point and end up sending their laundry list to Nicolas Sarkozy, but we can 'iron out' such problems... Alright, that wasn't very funny but you're welcome to try to do better.)
Just drop me a line and you'll be sorted.

We're Back!
In fact, we never went away. It's just that your trusty reporter was unable to attend the last session and my spy network did not get back to me with adequately detailed reports.Whatever, it was all systems go again the third Wednesday in the month, which on this occasion was 20th May.
It was an impressively busy night, with a generous smattering of handsome new faces going through their paces. In fact, you can't help wondering what would happen if everybody who's ever been showed, the regulars along with the frequent, along with the occasional visitor from outer space (well - further than Wigan at any rate.)
Not to worry - we hope that many more people will put in an appearance - and as you can see, the folk aready there are a friendly bunch - at the next Open Mic night, which is Wedensday 17th June.
Hope to see you there. Now take a look at us in these hot-off-the-presses pics.

Breaking News - Change of Date
Without so much as a blink of the eye, the next meeting of Coppull Open Mic has been put back to Wednesday 22nd April.
This might be a good night for novices to come down, as there is a strong possibility the news has not got round to most of the regulars!

Phew, What A Corker!
This evening at Coppull Open Mic was really busy, with a great line-up of artists performing a wide variety of songs. This doesn't mean there isn't room for more. Besides performers, all are welcome to come and listen - the audience is a friendly bunch and the drinks are cheap.
There was a rumour going around that maybe last month was a bit quiet because there was confusion about the date of the meeting which was the next-to-last Wednesday in the month. This has now been changed. We now get together on the third Wednesday.
Normally this would make no difference - only when there are five Wednesdays causes a shift. As it happens, this April is one of those months as it starts on a Wednesday. So, please note: are next meeting is Wednesday 15th April. Please come along and jon in the fun.
A new development was we had a keyboard player - however, an attempt to play along to a drum machine for a bit of Elton John style rock'n'roll was a failure! Ah well, ballads are just as good. So if there's any drummers out there, or any other musicians - on oboe, didgeridoo or krumhorn, come along. You are welcome to a solo spot and we may get a bit of a jam going too.
Here are some pictures from a busy evening.

18th February 2009
What started out looking again like it was going to be a quiet night turned out to be - well, sadly - a rather quiet night. Which was a pity as the House Band were in very fine fettle and played a great extended set. However, an outbreak of sore throats, emmigrations and holidays took a bit of a toll and we had just one guest performer, so unlike last month when folk were queing up to play. Here's hoping we will back to busy next month, which should be 18th March (TBC.) With a bit of luck we should have a keyboard player, so rumour has it.
Here's some pix from the evening.

21st Jan 2009
It looked like it might be a quiet night. We had a 'house band' running through a few numbers in front of, to be honest, a rather modest crowd... But true musicians don't get out of bed for less than a free set of Ernie Ball Super Slinkies, and even then not before 9:30! (PM, that is!)
Gradually the place began to fill up, with more and more musicians wanting to take to the stage, from brave newcomers (always welcome) to dazzling virtuosos (damn 'em), till there was hardly enough time to give everyone a slot. Below are some pictures from the night (sorry I didn't make a note of names or songs!)
(Mick - our host - doing his "Back Cover of Abbey Road" trick there)
The next meeting (next to last Wednesday each month) is 18th February and my advice (especially if you want to play) is to get there early! If you just want to listen to a wide variety of FREE LIVE MUSIC, get there early anyway!
