The King's Head is due to close down at the end of this year, and so Steve, the landlord, has decided to end open mics. A little earlier tha expected, but I s'pose you have to start somewhere.
I have many fond, and mostly drunken memories of The King's Head, but best of all, I have the memory of having my first ever open mic night here. In regards to both performing, and watching. So to see open mic leave this place was pretty emotional. We all had hugs and cheers at the end of the night, and although we were sad, it wasn't the end of our local open mic night just yet! It's due to start back up and running at a local Venue in a couple of weeks, which I for one, am really looking forward to! :)
In this pic: (from left to right) Doug, a singer and guitarist who is my mum's boyfriend, who is next to him, who also sings. We then move onto the lovely Ross who is the head of the open mics, who is a fantastic singer and guitarist. Behind Ross is Simeon, a mini-me of Ross. Three guesses what he does. And he's great at it! Then there is Colin, who sings and guitars, and does a fantastic cover of "The Chain" with Ross, at the end night. And lastly there's me, and we all know what I do!
After the excellent night we just had, there was no way we were going to end it there! So we headed back to Jack's to continue the party! ;)
