Save the Open Mic Night in Zurich

My dear friends, followers and idle readers,


Dis blog entry is about something a little bit more serious. And urgent. So I beg you for once to share this entry to all your friends in and around Zurich. We will probably only get one shot.


For some time now, there has been an Open Mic Night here in Zurich, held twice a month at McGee's Irish Pub. Ryan, the organizer, always did a hell of a job, setting up all the equipment, organizing the whole event, and if you're interested, please have a look at his blog, where you should find all the important information. 


Well, it has come to my ears that this Sunday there might be the last Open Mic Night for good, not only for the summer. Apparently the audience as well as the performers (mostly the performers) have shrunk to a minimum of a few regulars and the odd other person dropping in, which kind of made it more and more frustrating to organize the whole event and put such a huge effort in. 


Now, dear friends, I ask you one single favor. (okay, two...but one is only a click.) If you are a hobby musician, like to play songs, maybe are looking for a band, or just enjoy playing instruments and/or sing, just grab your instrument and maybe one or two mates and show up on


Sunday, May 6th, 7.30pm at McGee's Irish Pub at Bahnhof Wiedikon. 


(sorry Ryan, stole the pic from your blog :))


Usually every player gets a set of 20 minutes to play, you can also just play one song if you like. It's not a competition, it's all about fun.


The other favor, as mentioned above, would be to share this post if you have friends, relatives or acquaintances in and around Zurich who like to play or listen to good music. We need a good outcome this sunday night.


Additional information: oddly enough, there are 4! of the regular players who's birthday falls on the 6th of May. So it will be not only musically a great thing but there should be some cakes (I'll most likely provide a Rhubarb cake) and good party mood. Bring hats, noisemakers and what ever you like if you want!


THANK YOU!
