Hi all, since this stupid virus began we have moved our local pub open mic night from the pub to zoom. So every Tuesday 8:30-11:00 (UK time) we gather in our little boxes – we have about 5-6 musicians and the same number of non-musos. We take turns to play something, a song, a tune, jam to a jam-track. We have a variety of styles and would welcome some new people into the fold. So why not join us next Tuesday? Here’s the link you will need:
Peter Bennett (virtual landlord) is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Thanks for the invitation, David. I will give it a try if you and your friends don’t mind some off-key singing.

You’re most welcome Jim – we have a real mix of playing styles and vocal styles – and its ok to mess up, false starts and all that. I look forward to meeting you on zoom.
David.

All are welcome! Some of us use mics if singing and playing, but some (including me) just play and sing into the laptop mic. We have all been trying different set-ups to improve the quality, but we’ve found the laptop mic to be quite good. So come along, and hang out, listen to some of us, chat, and take your turn on the performance round if you feel ok about it. No pressure. I hope to meet some of you there next Tuesday. All the best, David.

David, thank you for inviting me to your pub session. Everyone was so welcoming that I felt right at home. It was fun and I look forward to attending again. For the others who said that they might be interested, I strongly recommend that you give it a try.

Hi Jim, I’m so glad you enjoyed the evening, I know we all enjoyed your songs. It’s always fun to welcome new people with different songs/tunes/styles to offer.

Have you kept a recording of the evening if so it would help those from other time zones or unable to attend to check it out if you can post a link?
It sounds like it went down well. From what part of the UK is it based?All the best

We are based mainly in a small village, Nailsworth, near Stroud in the Cotswolds, but we have people from all multiple UK locations (and now Jim from Florida) so we are becoming more global in our reach. Only the virtual landlord and zoom administrator can record sessions, and we tend not to as it reduces bandwidth and some people might not want to be on video. The enjoyment is in the joining in.
You are most welcome to join us John if it’s a convenient time for you.
Peace and love,
David.

Hi Billy, I have asked the administrator to accept you. I think he doesn’t check it very often.

It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

Hi David,
at first all best wishes for this still new year – I’m afraid we all will need them..
Are you still maintaining your ‘virtual open mic night’ this January? Maybe today? Maybe next week? If so, I would be interested to join you very much – at least for listening, but maybe later with my guitar . .
Your VOMN is a very good idea, and as always: someone has to start a good thing – you did it!Best wishes from Freiburg

Hi Michael,
All the best for this new year to you too – yes, it’s gonna be a crazy ride for sure. The VOMN is on tonight and every Tuesday for the foreseeable future. We start at 8:30, most people join between then and 8:45. You are most welcome. There are a few protocols to let you know about – mute your microphone when someone is playing, then unmute to applaud at the end – chat/ask questions between songs if you want. When playing turn on ‘Original Sound’ in zoom as it comes over better. If you want to play don’t worry about making mistakes, we all do sometimes – it’s for fun and enjoyment. Peter the virtual landlord usually calls in rotation the musicians to play, but if you don’t want to just say pass – no problem. Sometimes I will make backing tracks for others to play over.
I look forward to meeting you in zoom later.
All the best,
David.

Hi David,
thank you for your direct answer and the advices. That’s very kind!
I’ll do my best to join you tonight (first, I have to do some complex mathematical calculations as to how late your 8:30 pm is here in Germany…).If I should not make it tonight, I will have the pleasure to meet you all next week latest!
All the best
Michael

Thank you for dropping in on us Michael, we all enjoyed your playing and humour. I hope you can join us again and become a regular. We started as a small local group of musicians from the local pub ‘The George’ in Nailsworth, Stroud, and we are becoming more international as time goes by.We have a group on Signal where Peter, our virtual landlord, posts the links to zoom each week and for general music chat. If you would like to join here is a link .. https://signal.group/#CjQKIA2iN8a7Vx7W3JSLGbdZboQp_n1ZaxkK2rW4F9fl1oxAEhDplQOjV0GxTckByNXTCcj4
See you again soon,
David.
