My intro doesn't do this episode justice, because this episode is definitely in the top 5 for me. But I'm running late so hopefully you'll hear what I mean for yourselves. Today's guests are: Bertie: -- https://www.instagram.com/bertiebaileymusic -- On Video: -- https://www.instagram.com/onvideoband -- Thank you to all of the bands and Brixton Windmill. And thank you all for listening. Take care.

I ramble, therefore I am.

Country Al is a powerhouse of a performer at our open mic nights, and even though he tends to go on first he is guaranteed to leave an impression. Today we find out a little more about how Country Al became Country Al. And - for now at least - I'm afraid there is no online destination for you to find him. So the best thing you can do is seek him out at one of our open mic nights ( -- https://www.ukopenmic.com -- ). Thank you Country (or Astronaut) Al, and thank you/sorry to everyone that was kept waiting at last night's event. I promise the next one will be much smoother. Thank you all for listening, and a special hello to any/all of our international listeners. Thanks for sticking around. Take care.

Thank you to Ben ( -- https://www.instagram.com/ben_todd_nelsons -- ) for being today's guest and for welcoming our open mic nights to your amazing pub ( -- https://www.instagram.com/thenelsonspub -- ). I forgot to mention this in the episode, but thank you also to Jimmy Cyclone ( -- https://www.instagram.com/jimmy.cyclone -- ) for introducing me to this pub in the first place. Happy 150 everyone! Thank you all for listening. Take Care. For more on the open mic nights, check out -- https://www.ukopenmic.com --

Victor is one of the many lovely people that can be found at The Lyttelton Arms pub in Camden. On today's episode I sneak a very quick chat with him to find out more about where he is from and what brought him to Camden. If you'd like to find out more about him you can find him at -- https://www.instagram.com/viktorbjorkman -- Thank you Victor and all the lovely people at Lyttelton Arms for letting me come back week after week. Take Care. Check out the open mics at -- https://www.ukopenmic.com/events -- PS, I don't think there is anyone called Ross at Lyttelton Arms. At least not at the time of recording this. If there is, Hi Ross!

A very personal episode today. I thought it was about time I really dived into what exactly Loads Of Japanese Bands is. There's a lot I miss out from the story in this episode, but there's always room for a part 2. In the mean time, here is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down...Take Care.

You never know what kind of performer you might get at an open mic, and Mon'ika Pop is one that I can file under "thinking outside of the box". They were kind enough to talk to me for today's episode so that I could try to find out more about the inspiration behind their music. You can find out more about them too at -- https://www.youtube.com/gideonblackman -- Thanks Gideon, and thank you all for listening. Take Care. P.S. Here is a video of their performance after this episode was recorded: -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHGxA8MTSfE --

Two chats in this episode with two of the performers from last night's open mic: Dread Fury, who was last on the podcast on episode 43, and IT'S OWN ANIMAL, who is a new guest and a relatively new performer at our nights. Both artists can be found on Spotify by searching for their names as they are written in the title (Edit 07-08-19: and on Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/dreadfury1 -- https://www/instagram.com/garry.minto -- ). I also give a shout out to Novacub and Zoey Lily, who can also be found on Spotify by searching their names. Thanks everyone for a great night! I'll catch you all on the next episode. Take Care.

Danny is a real diamond in the current Uk Open Mic roster, and today's episode is a chance for me to find out a little more about what brought him to our neck of the woods. His performances have only grown stronger since he started playing with us, and if you want to know more about what he's doing with his music then you can find him at -- https://www.instagram.com/dannymcmahonmusic -- Fun fact about today's episode: I recorded the intro and outro in one take. I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of all this. We'll see how long that lasts. Don't forget you can check out all of the open mic nights I host at -- www.ukopenmic.com -- Thank you Danny, thank you all for listening, and I'll catch you on the next episode. Take care.
