After a successful Out of the BedZoom #1, we’re back by public demand for more!

Out of the BedZoom #2 will take place this Thursday 16th April. We will be using the Zoom video conferencing tool and providing a link so that anyone anywhere in the world can join.

The address to login is https://zoom.us/j/92172452021.

We will start at 8.00 (as usual) and will run for one hour with each act having one song each. Attendees can turn up from 7.30 when the online room will be open for sign up. Slots will be allocated randomly, with the last act choosing a number of the next act. (For those that remember our sister night The Listening Room, it is that method of allocating slots that we will be using.)

If more than an hour’s worth of people sign up (about 12 acts) then we will take a short break at 9.00 (as usual) and have a part two fitting in those other acts. There is no feature act this week.

Out of the BedZoom #1 took place on Thursday 2nd April. Line up: Vincent Gauchot, Jim Bryce, Startled Bee, Tom McEwan, Majk Stokes & Beth Clarke, James Whyte, Tina Louise Avery, Ian Sclater, Darren Thornberry, James Igoe.

The venue Woodland Creatures will be closed for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. The fortnightly Out of the Bedroom open mic nights will therefore be cancelled until the bar reopens.

We hope to see you all when we return to the bar fit and well and ready to eat, drink and be merry!

Take care. x

Out of the Bedroom 711 will take place in Woodland Creatures on Thursday, 5th March from 8.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m. Entry is free and sign up for an open mic slot is from 7.30 p.m., with 10 to 15 minutes per act depending on the number of performers.

Our feature act this week is SCEViP. SCEViP is Stephanos Constandinou’s solo project revolving around an electric violin and a loop pedal. Inspired by the likes of Apocalyptica, Andrew Bird and Fotis Siotas, Stephanos makes use of the most unconventional techniques to deliver mesmerising shows that are up to par with a full band’s performance. Being a fan of alternative and progressive rock music, Stephanos gives an unusual twist to the sounds of the violin, successfully transforming it into a musical manifest and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase: one-man band AKA the Looping Madness.

OOTB 710 took place on Thursday 20th February. Line up was: Matthew Sier, Rosie Nimmo, Dog on a Swing, Gordon Sutherland, Colin Whitelaw, Neil Matthew Fox, Jim Bryce, Roy McIntosh, Majk Stokes, feature act: Sam Shackleton.
