Hi there everyone

I wondered if you Mudcatters could help me. I help to run a monthly music/comedy/variety night called Off the Road, at the Adelphi club in Hull. It's proving to be a very popular night.

These nights typically feature a mix of music and spoken word, and we also have drama groups, sketches and circus acts. We're always on the lookout for new acts to appear, and we want to visit some open mic, music and comedy nights around Hull and thereabouts to recruit some new acts - areas such as Beverley, Cottingham, Driffield, over the water to Grimsby, Barton, Goole, Cleethorpes, etc.

We don't have a budget so unfortunately at present we can't pay acts to appear, however we do film each event and give a dvd of it to the acts who performed.

We also occasionally do 'theme' nights, for example our most recent one was a Bob Dylan night with local acts peforming the songs of Bob Dylan and other songs from that era. I would like to organise a folk night some time in the near future so that is another reason for my search!

Any info on open mic nights currently running would be much appreciated. Also if there are any performers out there interested in appearing at Off the Road, please let me know! We want musicians, poets, comedians, storytellers, even gurners would be most welcome!!

I understand that members can 'PM' me on here too? though I don't know how that works cos haven't used that facility yet.

Many thanks,

Jane

It would be useful to contact Linda Kelly of   Hissyfit who is also involved in          Cottingham Live music Club.

As nutty suggests, contact Linda or simply come along to the club on a singer's musician's night. The cottingham link gives details. Sessions in Beverley at the Sun pub every Bunday, at the Tiger on Tuesdays and Fridays; Not the White horse folk club is on Mondays - plenty of talent around!

Hi there. The Tuesday night session at The Sun Inn in Beverley (right next to the Minster) is a good session and there are sesions at The Sun every Sunday too where the artists provide a variety of styles. I myself am an acoustic singer/songwriter with plenty of gigging experience including a live radio performance on BBC's Raw Talent programme. I can play either originals or covers and you can check out my stuff on myspace or IAC music. Here are the web addresses:
