OpenMind NEW VENUE/OpenMind: Face the Music Update
On Monday 21st May we’ll be celebrating the wide variety of musical talent in Manchester at NEW VENUE Fuel Bar in Withington with OpenMind: Face the Music II a year on from our first ever live music special. We’ve got a fantastic line up planned with amazing live music from the likes of vocalist Tsareeena Wimbush, acoustic and vocals from Tony Ward, poetry and loops from Martin Christie and poetry and keyboards from A Means To An End, as well as our headliners The Outerparty, a brilliant alternative rock band that combines great instrumentals with truly stunning vocals.
We now pay our guests as well as our headliners, so if you’re coming along to support one of the guest artists, mention their name on the door and they’ll get £1 for every person that comes to see them.
The evening will be presided over by Cowboy Crisafulli who’ll be trying out an original country song Southern Cowboy, and a swing version of Iris by Goo Goo Dolls as well as compeering the evening.
As always we’ll have our 5 minute OpenSpace slots where performers of all varieties and disciplines can perform whether it be music, theatre, comedy, dance or even ventriloquists (seriously, we’re yet to see one at OpenMind, it’d be awesome). Whatever you do, OpenMind create an OpenSpace for creativity. To put your name on the list for this momentous event, contact me here: https://www.facebook.com/ushiku
