I describe Jack Mann as an electric presence on the stage, and I wholeheartedly stand by that statement. If that alone isn't enough to get you to check him out, then maybe this episode will do the trick. Consider this a window into the mind of a thoughtful, articulate, and passionate artist who is only just getting started. Thank you very much for your time Jack, and do be sure to check him out at -- https://www.whojackmann.com -- or -- https://www.instagram.com/whojackmann --Don't forget, I'm playing shows on the 16th and 25th of June.

Today's guest is Tylar Gilbert. Our introduction is proof that sometimes it pays off to take a risk, and his story paints a picture of someone who is driven, ambitious, and out to get all that they can from this city. There was many a pearl of wisdom for me to learn from our talk, and I'm very grateful that he took the time to join me for this episode. You can see more of Tylar on his Instagram: -- https://www.instagram.com/tylargilbert --Thank you all for listening, and I'll catch you on the next episode.Take Care.

Andres and his attitude towards new music and live music is the stuff of legend. By the time you finish listening to this episode, I'm sure you'll agree (I mean, 11 shows in 1 week! ELEVEN!). You can see some of what he is talking about for yourself on his youtube channel:-- https://www.youtube.com/andunemir --Thank you Andres, I'll try not to leave it too long before we see each other again. And thank you all for listening. I'll catch you on the next episode, which will hopefully be tomorrow.Take Care.

Hayley Solas is a tremendous presence to have on an open mic, and she is equally tremendous as a guest on a podcast. Making her debut here on SADDESTNIGHTOUT, we had our talk in the basement of The Nelsons pub after my open mic night there. If you find yourself wanting to know more about her, you can find her on instagram under : -- https://www.instagram.com/hayleysolasmusic --And while you're at it, please do check out The Nelsons instagram page as they do an amazing job (I think it's Jaxx in particular who does so) at filming some of the performances. You can find them at:-- https://www.instagram.com/thenelsonspub --And you can find my open mic nights at:-- https://www.ukopenmic.com --Thank you Hayley, thank you all for listening, and I'll catch you all on the next episode.Take Care.

This episode is my first time using Skype, and who better to help me enter this new frontier than today's guest: Ant Henson.He is a man of many talents, most of which he tells us about, and he has many a project on the go.

I first met Marianne-Rose when I performed with Unique Technique and spoke to him for episode 152. I only spoke to her briefly then but she kindly agreed to meet up with me in Forest Hill to join me for an episode. I don't have much experience with open mics and live music "south of the river", so this whole day was an eye-opener. Thank you very much to Marianne-Rose for her time. You can find her band here: -- https://www.facebook.com/aPopLexyUK -- Thanks for listening, and I'll catch you all on the next episode.

After yet another break from posting episodes, I thought I'd take a moment to remind myself of the mission statement behind this project. I thought it would only be about 5 minutes, it ended up being around 25. I guess I had more to get off of my chest than I thought.Thank you for listening, and I'll catch you on the next episode.Take Care.

Please welcome the two newest members of the SADDESTNIGHTOUT family: Reece Devaney and Jay Coletti.

Jay doesn't really exist online yet, but you can find more of Reece by searching his name on YouTube. Here's one gem in particular: -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=exnxfmyNfPk -- -- Thanks for listening, and I'll catch you on the next episode. -- Take Care.
