Open Stage is back at the Station Hotel,
As well as an Open Mic there will be some fantastic guest spots to spur things on – November’s Open Stage will feature Moniaive singer/songwriter Darcy Carson and
Darcy Carson is a promising young pianist who at the age of 15 is already writing and recording her own songs. She went down a storm at this year's Moniaive Folk Festival and performances such as these led to her appearing at the legendary Spiegel Garden during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. So come and see for yourself one of Dumfries & Galloway's brightest prospects.
Hugh Bryden’s work as an artist has long been recognised, but he is becoming an increasingly published poet, creating beautiful hand-printed limited editions of his work which are proving very popular. Hugh’s work in Scots is both humorous and poignant, and not to be missed.
All would-be performers - make sure you get there early – registration for all those who wish to perform will take place between 7pm and 7.30pm on the night! Poets can read three short poems and songwriters two songs.
Even if performing’s not your thing, don’t miss the chance to see and hear some great original material! Whatever your tastes in music or poetry come along, showcase your skills and meet like-minded people in a chilled out atmosphere. Hosting the event will be local singer/songwriter Nicola Black. Entry is £3 on the door.
