5090 Songwriting Challenge

Posted 29/06/2010 By admin

Forgot to put it in the mailout, hopefully some of you will look on the OOTB website too. Check this out: fiftyninety.fawmers.org

“This is the marathon of songwriting known as the 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge. Between July 4th and October 1st, participants attempt to write fifty songs. Songwriters will test their creative mettle by trying to create a finished song in less than 2 days every day for nearly 3 months.

“During these 90 days participants will encourage each other, collaborate, give and gain feedback on their new creations and push themselves to practice and refine their skills in songwriting. Whether long time vets of songwriting or picking up the pen for the first time, participants will grow their skills in making music… and just might have some fun along the way.”

500th!

Posted 21/10/2012 By admin

Hi everyone,
Our nights at Kilderkin have been going very well and we are looking forward to our 500th, yes our 500th OOTB!
It will be a covers night (although you can play your own material if you wish) and we especially encourage you to cover songs from other OOTB performers (with their permission of course!). We would like to show the Kilderkin just how many of us are out there, and it would also be lovely to see you as well!

The feature acts for the new few months are the powerful songs of Calum Carlye (27th Oct), the blues man himself Roger Emmerson (10th Nov), the incredible Dave Keir (24th Nov), thoughtful and dynamic Pol Arida (1st Dec) and the witty Jack Blimey! (Dec 15th).

We now have a fantastic team of comperes and sound people, although we could always use some help (especially for sound). So if you feel you’d like to take part (even if it’s writing the review for one night) please let us know!

Many Thanks

Nyk Stoddart
OOTB Secretary

Unfortunately due to illness, we have no choice but to cancel this evening’s open mic – we’ll be back rested and recovered next week.

OOTB.

Sorry! I forgot to tell you about Fox Elipsus, who’s coming to Scotland from New York for his first ever concert in Edinburgh, at Beanscene (Nicolson Street) on Sunday 4 Sept, at 7pm and it’s FREE. Here’s what he says:

“my songs are about peace & environment, inspired by Lennon and such… the live show makes people laugh 😀 & is free for all ages… sleeping in the car to make the tour possible, so since it’s free, was hoping you might come & bring family & friends, kids welcome 🙂 & other cities below xx

Sun 4th Sept, starts 7pm – EDINBURGH
Beanscene, 95-97 Nicolson St, South Bridge, EH8 9BY

Also Wed 31st Aug Inverness (6pm @ Gellions), Thu 1st Sep Aberdeen (7pm @ Kilau Coffee), Fri 2nd Perth (7pm @ Willows Coffee), Sat 3rd Dundee (Noon @ Cafe Buongiorno) & Glasgow (6pm @ Rio Cafe), & others, see sites. “

Do go along, i’m sure it’ll be ace. 🙂
