Happy New Year!
Happy New Year one and all. We rang it in properly last night at the Canonsgait with an absolutely brilliant set by main act Lee Patterson, and a big, listening audience. The open mic performers debuted new songs a’ plenty, which we always love to hear.
Paul Gilbody
Next week, Jan 15, is simply a Can’t Miss. In addition to the wealth of talent we’re seeing lately in the open mic, we’re chuffed to have Paul Gilbody as our main act. Paul is a giant of Edinburgh’s acoustic scene. In addition to hosting Acoustic Edinburgh, he performs in jazzy outfit Gecko 3 and routinely does session work for other artists as well. He’s got a great sound, and we know you’ll want to hear him. www.myspace.com/paulgilbody
