Thursday 9/07/09 Elephant and Castle, Warwick

 New venue for me, but an old crowd, I say crowd two people I know, pub not much fuller.
 Good to get a warm welcome from generous Mike who runs it and also saw the great Jez Rogers.
I have now been named “Mr. Ben” as I keep turning up out of the blue.

Wednesday 08/04/09 - The Bell Inn, Nottingham

I saw this on the website www.nottinghamgigguide.com and thought I am up for a new challange.
Not been out recently on Tuesdays as the family have had a number of things on, so this was a good chance to get out again.Turned up, guitar in hand, not sure what to expect. Eventually i heard a voice I thought I recognised, who only turned out to be the pub manager and therefore the runner of the open-mic.
Happy days.
Played (under the Not Andy name)
50 Things to do before I die - Jon Chapman
Please Read the Letter - Krause/Plant versionIn my Heart - Jon Chapman
Its a little caotic but a good open mic, starts early, according to the posters, and has a good and responsive crowd and some tallented talent as well. I shall return. Its nice and easy as the bus stops really close to home and the pub, a great result.till next time badger readers......
