I've also started posting songs onto the Virtual Open Mic website.

Few more details for Wednesdays ‘Search for a feature artist’

Its a first come first served basis, I'll start taking names and divvying slots from around 8.30.

You’ll get 15 mins to do what you like with.There’s one house guitar plus 3 mics and a stupidly elaborate mixer. But if you have other guitars, i'd ask you to bring a lead.

I've also got a journo mate who is going to do reviews, which will be heavily posted on myspace and any music forums I can muster.

The chosen act will get an hours slot the following week promoted as the ‘feature artist’. The winners going to be judged a lot on crowd response so get your support along too.

I’ve had a quite a few confirmed acts so if you’re keen get down early. Bar 38 - George Street

I once bumped into a ginger. He smelt faintly of fruit and disappointment. Thankfully such smells are fleeting, and the overall musk delivered not an unwelcome furore of elementary volume and class. Still, he had the look of a pikey, and the cander of a leper, wrapped in the sheets of a fresh abortion. When I struck his shoulder, with all the intent of a car accident, I immediately apologised. "Shoulda looked where you were goin', cunt" was the forthcoming reply, and coincidentally, also the last words from his mouth. Well, I say last words, in reality his last word was "AWRRRGUFUGh....". But at the very least it was apt! What noise would you make being forced to down a bottle of champagne from the wrong end?

This was a random G short, for not reason.
