27/9/11–the New Queen Vic, Wolverton

P1030174

I visited this open mic last week, but did not have my guitar so did not play.

It is a good crowd, if lacking in quantity.

I was up last of three.

Played

Please read my letter – Plant/Krause version
50 things to do before  I die – Jon Chapman
Behind Blue Eyes/Won’t get fooled again – the Who
Pinball Wizard/I’m free – the Who
If I was a Carpenter – Tim Hardin
Rock and Roll – Led Zeppelin (Wedding singer version)
Rocking in the free world – Neil Young

I was going to play some new songs, however, there was only emergency lighting so I could not see any lyrics I might have. Oh well Next Time.

 

I will return next week.

This has great potential as a great open mic, they need to get more players to play. Its the only open Mic I know hosted by a lady….
