OOTB 661 – Thursday 25th January – TG McEwan

The second Out of the Bedroom of 2018 this Thursday is number 661 and just happens to fall on Burns Night, 25th January. In celebration of the great man, we’ll be bringing shortbread. No idea if he liked the sugary and buttery biscuit so connected with Scotland but Burns’ face features on a fair few tins! Our very fine venue is Woodland Creatures and first open slot is 8pm and we finish up at 11pm. Entry is free and you are welcome as a performer of original material, a music lover or simply a shortbread eater. If you want to play, sign up starts at 7:30pm for an open mic slot, with 10-15 minutes per act depending on the number of performers. Host for the evening will be James Igoe with Malcolm McLean on sound desk.

OOTB 660 on 11th January was a very enjoyable start to the year though not too many musicians so do come along as the audience is there! The evening featured: host Tina Louise Avery, Skip the Android, James Igoe, Conor Michael Riordan and feature act Roelle Blue.

Feature act is TG McEwan. TG is a phenomenally prolific singer-songwriter who has been performing since the 1980s and has played well over 1,000 gigs. TG will be launching his new album “Promises” which comes with a whopping 120 page booklet! Some of TG’s songs can be found on his YouTube channel and some songs are available on ye olde MySpace. If the new songs played at OOTB recently are an indicator, TG’s album will be amazing.

As well as being a very fine musician and gentleman, TG also co-founded a groundbreaking open mic night in Edinburgh in 1993 called Workers in Song. This was an original music open mic night, later becoming Edinburgh Songwriters Showcase, and was the inspiration for Out of the Bedroom. Basically, TG McEwan is a genius!

See you at Woodland Creatures this Thursday…
