Gordon started the amateur open mic nights as a way for
anyone who has strummed away in the garage or bedroom to actually
get up and perform in front of an audience. He has made the events
laid back and friendly, himself and the “oldies” are on hand to
provide advice help and support as well as backing music to anyone,
be it a seasoned player that wants to have a bit of a jam or the
next new talent to hit Deepings and who’s never performed in public
before.
In Gordon’s own words “I had to
find a venue in the Deepings that would provide good facilities and
enough space for us. I approached the Deepings Rugby Club and they
agreed to us using the bar and lounge area.
You find some excellent players of
all sorts of instruments that know how great they are they just need
a platform to show others just how good. These new sessions will
present an opportunity for both experienced and budding musicians to
come and show off their talents.”
The next session will be 17th May,
starting at 8pm, any and all forms of live music will be welcome, be
it blues, classical, rock, folk, country or any other. Anyone who
plays music, to any standard, will be made most welcome in the very
friendly and comfortable surroundings of the rugby clubhouse. You
can if you like, but there’s no need to book just turn up on the
night.
Live music is never complete
without an audience so people who just want to come and listen will
be made most welcome too!
Deepings Rugby Club is on
Linchfield Road, Deeping St James, opposite the Deepings school.
