Grace is a large part of the reason why it's been so great to do the open mic at The Nelson's, and this episode was recorded after her last shift there. So I thought I'd say goodbye to her in my own special way, by recording a podcast with her.Goodbye Grace, and thanks for everything. Have fun on your travels!As for me, I'll be sticking around. Don't forget, I have two shows coming up in the near future: -- The Stag's Head, Hoxton on Sunday 16th June from 5pm -- Roadtrip and The Workshop, Old Street on Tuesday 25th June from 8pm.Thanks for listening folks.Take Care.

Nielsen Reaveley returns to the podcast exactly one year after I first had him as a guest.

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!).

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.

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.
