A thread iv waited years to be started, and now it's here. Disagree, I love a tune I know, rather than some shit, a beardy long haired yoof has written in his bedroom.

I love live music. It's just dispiriting to hear open mic nights where awful covers are done by people who can't sing or play above a very low level.

So if they sang their own songs they’d suddenly become Freddie Mercury?

Out of interest where were you? I've done a few myself and nearly always play my own material but the problem you have is no one knows it and you need people to hear your songs more than once so they get to know them. Covers will often go down better for that very reason as people at least know the song, even if they've not heard my somewhere between folk and punk approach to it.
I tend to do some open mics to promote my music on Spotify etc. But I always do some covers and some originals. But with the covers, I always do my own version and not direct covers, something they could attach to but understand it's my own variation. Always fun to meet like minded locals.
If anyone wants to come down, I tend to do some in Sidcup and Blackheath more than others.
I've done a few open mics here and there. Standards can vary greatly but regardless, it takes courage to put yourself out there to be judged and told that you're a "pallid copycat" or whatever.
People have to start somewhere and open mics are a great place to do it.
Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadillac, yeah.... She's broken down on freeway nine I take a look and get her engine started I leave her purring and I roll on by... Bye bye

Boring isn't it, bumping an old thread on a football forum just to make some David Brent jokes. Not for Chizz, he likes it.

Will do.
Telegraph Road by Dire Straits. All 15 mins of it.
Low level is where people get started.
TBH you shouting "Oh Jeremy Corbyn" (out of tune) all the way through my set didn't help
The night they drove old dixie down - the band
Sweet Home Alabama (acoustic version is great)

Anyway, it's about keeping music a living breathing thing.
Whether it's good or bad, my mantra is ....... "it's Live Music, FFS!"
