City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Concert/Show
Meeting Point: Bling Bar, Neufrankengasse, Zurich

OK so a couple of weeks ago I went along to an Open Mic / Plug n Play night at the Bling Bar, just off Langstrasse on the advice of a friend.

It turned out to be a really nice venue with a good setup, friendly staff, and the guy who organises the event is also a very cool bloke indeed.

So with this in mind, I'll be heading along again tomorrow, guitar in hand. Anyone who fancies performing, the flyers say "Bring your own instrument, play your own tunes. 2 songs max" - last time the weather was rotten so there was only me turned up, meaning I ended up doing 6 or 7 songs - some company in the performing stakes would be nice

Oh also it says "play your own" but covers are clearly welcome as that's mainly what I did last time.

So, hopefully see some of you there tomorrow - I know it's short notice but that's because it takes a fair bit of pestering for me to beat my embarrassment threshold and actually tell people when I'm playing live.

important disclaimer I've looked on the site, and they've taken down their diary so I can't *actually* confirm that this is definitely still on but I'll be there with my guitar in case, and the worst that can happen is a few drinks with friends in a new bar. Well, the *worst* that can happen is that it is on and no-one else turns up again and so you have to listen to me wailing on all night

Sign up, turn up, tell your friends etc.

Who votes for Terry to perform at the EF Christmas party?

Edit: I'm sure he's pretty cheap
This user would like to thank mark for this useful post:

Re: Open Mic Night, Zurich

Thanks folks.

Cheers for the photos Mark, that camera really is good, not only can it do light and shadow, it can also pick out a bumfluff moustache at 20 paces

We stayed in Bling until it closed, I spent some time talking to the bar owner who said to me "Whenever you come here now, you come as a friend". I like it already (plus they gave us 5 free bottles of Weissbier....that helps...)

What bar owner wouldn't be friends with a guy who always brings a dozen friends with him who aren't afraid to throw a bit of money across the bar and don't cause any trouble.

...on a Tuesday night. But then as Uncle max has pointed out when researching Talacker night venues, Zürich bars think they can do without our custom. Sobeit.
