Hello. Absolutely no featured act again this Saturday, so for the third week in a row we have plenty of raw slots exposed to our wide-eyed audiences and performers for another musical gang-bang. More center-page holes in full display are up for grabbing and groping to the delightful yet mechanical moans of the lucky recipients. It’s a fifteen-minute ride on stage which usually covers about three sensual positions of tuneful ecstasy.
Sign up time is 7:15pm-7:30pm and then shortly after OOTB gets the bed rocking at 8pm.
Next week for OOTB 550 the run of entirely open slots comes to an end as we have booked the amazing Nick Splinter Smith. Not to be missed.
Be there or be caught melodically celibate inside a crafty drummer’s snare…
OOTB 😀


Our slots, which art in heaven,
Hello. It’s that time of year once more where long stressful weeks of spending money and preparing for that one so-called special day that most people silently dread. By the time Hogmanay comes along, so much leftover turkey and rich food has been consumed that it’s realistic to expect bird feathers to blast out on your next visit to the toilet. Partially digested sultanas and raisins also pebble-dash the porcelain leaving an additional marzipan blended stench of stale rum in the bathroom air. All ended rather fittingly with a merry tune from the festive annual musical toilet-roll dispenser apportioning what looks like a slightly softer version of wrapping paper to clean yourself up with.
Hello. Featured act this week is the very talented and most legendary Tom Watton. Tom is a songwriter, storyteller and natural-born entertainer. His music has a direct folk influence in harmony with Tom’s unique twist on life. His finger-picking style on guitar along with his confident vocals are energetic and entirely musical. He plays a pretty mean double-bass as well. Never short of a word and a laugh, Tom is guaranteed to entertain any audience. A must see this Saturday that OOTB dare thee not to miss.
Hello. No picture of our featured act this week as I have been unable to find one, apart from the logo you see to the right. To find out what he looks like, then you’ll just have to get the hell down here and check the situation out. Enradgey has played on the OOTB stage several times with his own style of self-penned acoustic blues/rock songs. He’s a gritty performer with a vocal to match and plays a mean harmonica too. All this combined makes for a great performance not to be missed this Saturday at the Kilderkin bar.
Hello. End of this year is upon us and end of OOTB ’til next year, after December’s Christmas bash, is encroaching fast. This week’s featured act can be found at end of Kilderkin bar at end of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile playing to an attentive OOTB audience. End Of Neil is a well seasoned performer playing gigs in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and beyond. His style evokes a mixture of indie folk and rock, which comes across confidently with his strong finger-picking and strumming style on acoustic guitar alongside the occasional harmonica solo. His unique lyrics and polished vocals take you on a journey where you might discover something as diverse as chimpanzees escaping from a zoo. Intrigued and want to hear more? Then bring yourself and your friends along to back end (sorry) of the Kilderkin for a drink or two and one fine performance. End Of Neil keeps himself busy with recordings too, so here’s a link to hisÂ
Hello. Featured act this week is a duo well up for putting on a fantastic show of music. John D Revelator consists of battle-hardened musicians Johnny Diment and Colin Baird. Tired of playing old country, folk and Bob Dylan songs around Edinburgh, they started playing original songs at the beginning of this year after John’s song “In my loving arms” won a local folk club songwriting competition. Expect guitars, blues harps, mandolins and a very entertaining performance from John D Revelator’s own brand of folk/country/blues original songs. Here’s a link to their music:Â
Hello. OOTB have booked yet another great featured act this week. Dave Keir has been songwriting, gigging and recording since his youth. With such experience out there in the world of music, and with some European tours under his belt you can be rest-assured of a top quality performance. Dave’s music has a distinctive folk influence played with a strong finger-picking style on acoustic guitar which he is well recognised for. His vocals carry enchanting melodies with thoughtful deep lyrics which can’t help but draw you into Dave’s cleverly crafted songs.
Hello and all that sort of thing (ting-a-ling). OOTB have booked an incredible and experienced band as this week’s featured act. A New International, formerly The Starlets, are a rather talented group of musicians who have toured across Europe and as far as Japan. Their sound comprises a unique mix of styles drawn from their musical history where vocals, guitars, accordions and violins come in to play. I’ve seen them perform live several times and they never fail to put on a great show. For a far better and in depth description of who they are, visit their website:Â
