We have a small but highly dedicated band of regulars in The Top Bar - they know the times, place etc. but it has been brought to my notice that an (hopefully) ever increasing number of new attendees DON'T know all the details. So here goes: UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED all the gigs are on a Saturday, doors open at 8.15, the performer is onstage around 9pm. the gigs finish about eleven (depending on audience reaction and performer stamina!!!) and it's £5 on the door to get in. Of course there are sometimes variations but I e-mail everyone on our list with details during the week leading up. So get on the list
If you are already on the list and are not receiveing mail see the paragraph below.
For various reasons I've been sending out an increasing number of newsletter emails recently to an ever expanding base of subscribers. A number 'bounce back' as undelivered (some more regularly than others). I'ts reasonable to assume that I've got the address wrong but there might be other reasons. So if you think you should be getting mail and you're not, email me at office@belpermusicandarts.co.uk and I'll see what mistakes I've made - mostly it's not being able to read people's writing!!! (Although on checking the latest batch I have discovered at least one error on my part - oops).
Some old, some new, some folky, some blue(s) - have a look on their websites..
You Tube have changed some of their criteria making it easier to upload short vids. so maybe I will get a few more on site as I use their code to embed them here but they seem to be better if you view them directly on YouTube/BelperMusicAndArts page. Have a look anyway.
Details of new 'Derby Sings' workshops and concerts on the NEWS page.
15/10/07 Don't forget - Open Mic Acoustic Nights. Last Thursday of every month. The Top Bar @ The Queens Head. Doors 8:30 and everyone is welcome.
Hello - All of you who have not been here before.
Welcome to the BelperMusicAndArts website; a simple site wherein you can get information on music locally (and maybe further afield), read reviews (I do really try to be objective rather than objectionable), and be subjected to any other old rubbish (and good stuff of course) I find interesting which I shall make a link to.
Feel free to comment, criticise or castigate - although there is no guarantee I'll take any notice (yeah, 'course I will - I'm not all bad!).
