The Famous Musselburgh open mike sessions
From Stephen Barnaby:
Yes chaps, the first Sunday of another month is nearly upon us, which can mean only one thing, yes it means that time marches remorselessly onwards like a cold hearted juggernaut, leaving a wasteland of wrinkles, grey wisps and general sagginess in its pitiless wake. OK, so it means two things, the other is that the Musselburgh Hotpot will be with us again, to be precise on Sunday December 4th in the back room of Staggs (Volunteer Arms) behind the Brunton Theatre, N. High Street, Musselburgh, East or Midlothian, Yes, it’s Musselburgh’s own open floor acoustic performance hingmy, in which the hoi polloi (that’s you lot) can get up and do a story or a song or a poem or a tune or a kabuki or a washboard or whatever form of semi-legal artistic interpretation floats their personal dinghy, safe in the knowledge that an adorable and welcoming audience wil eagerly clasp them to their warm collective non-gender specific bosom, and as it’s December we’ll have a vague and amorphous theme in which you can conjure up whatever type of Christmas spirit you like, be it jovial, sinister, heart warming or bizarre. Or do something completely unfestive if you prefer. So that’s definite then. So come along at 7.30 if you want to put your name down to get up and do your wee (well, 5-10 mins) turn, or else by 8.00 if you just want to be part of the warm aforementioned bosom. Proceedings should endure from 8ish to 10ish and if you would like to get into the giving Crimbo spirit by voluntarily bringing along a shiny £2 donation then we would spontaneously break into a festive frenzy of gratitude. See you all there! God bless us, every one! Etc.!
Lots of love Stephen xxx
