23 Mar 11 - 11:54 AM (#3119837) Subject: RE: accoustic open mike night From: GUEST,Betsy A contradiction surely - an acoustic night with a PA System?. There is one local to me , I don't like it and never go now. The chosen few get a good mix from the (very amateur) soundman , and strangely all others struggle including far far better performers than I am. Whilst performing this R Sole tinkers with the sound , feed back and whistling - all this in a room which is too small to require a PA in the first place . I can understand a Pro. using a small PA for the sake of consistency in constantly changing venues, but for gatherings of the same people ,in the same small room on a regular basis . I prefer the other Folk Clubs near me where people sing and play "live" or as some would say "acoustically" . |

Karen, the landlady at the GI is nice, don't dump on her, the GI hosts many very good wholly acoustic singarounds and some lightly amplified folk nights too - and will be a milling throng including beer festival over Sweeps fest. |

GUEST Betsy - Tell us where so we can avoid it until the "Soundman" learns a bit of what he OUGHT to know ! |

Well said, Richard. Karen and Dal at The Good Intent are great supporters of live music (folk sessions, jazz nights, open mics etc.), and deserve credit for it. |

I once thought that "acoustic" meant unplugged. Nowadys, it seems iti s, as long as you aren't plugging in any electric guitars. Nothing wrong with a well balanced sound system to lift the performance. As long as the volume is kept at a reasonable level. |

Personally I look at a lot of similar threads occasionally and I would be at a thread that alerted me to a location within the limits of my listing cresby.com If you want people to look at the thread - give them the best chance. IMNSHO "Rochester" is more important (at that level) than "Thursday". The road to hell is paved with Good Intent. Is it not? |
