Second time at Taking the Mic and, if anything, an even higher standard of performances than the last one. I think we ended up with around 20 individual slots of around 5 minutes or so covering everything from Dildos to Grandmothers (insert your own Wayne Rooney gag here). Now that’s what I call variety. Plenty of regulars but a couple of very talented newbies too and a wonderfully supportive and chilled out atmosphere throughout the night. Compères Tim and Morwenna seemed genuinely knocked out by the quality on offer and quite frankly you’d need ears of cloth and a brain made of offal to disagree. The whole ruddy thing’s FREE too...two hours plus of top notch spoken word and music for FREE. What’s not to love? The next one's on Wednesday March 16th, highly recommended.
PS: Preferred the upstairs venue (The Voodoo Lounge
I think it was) rather than the bar where we were last time. Much easier to
give the whole thing the attention it deserves when you haven’t got someone ordering
a white wine spritzer and a packet of pork scratchings down yer ear ‘ole...
PPS: An impressive crowd too...they’re going to need
a bigger venue at this rate.
PPPS: Someone should be recording this stuff for
posterity.
PPPPS: I’ll stop now.
