Hi everybody. Right, it’s the talented and very personable Jill Hepburn performing the featured act slot this week (Saturday 10th of March) at The Montague Bar from 8pm, and if you’re quick enough you might get to sign up for one of our three song floorspots too, or just come along and soak up the pot pourri that is Edinburgh’s rich panoply of songwriters, plying their wares for free in front of your eyes and ears.

You know i was thinking about this, now that OOTB’s on a Saturday you have an excellent weekend of top quality openmicness going on EVERY WEEK. Check this out:

And this month it’s on on Wednesday 14th of March at The Third Door at 8pm, and the acts will be Naledi Herman, Laurie Cameron and The Last of Barrett’s Privateers!
