It seems the Open Mic Night has a new (temporary) venue, over at the Baskerville Arms. They have their first evening on January 8th.
Meanwhile, someone at St Mary's has thought up a novel way of raising money to build toilets for the church - singing Handel's Messiah!
There will be professional orchestral players, and experienced soloists - but as the compere of The Good Old Days used to say, "Chiefly - YOURSELVES!"
Which is another way of saying that anyone can sign up to be part of it.
Registration is at the church on Saturday 26th Jan, and costs £25.00. There are then two or three rehearsals spread over the next few weeks, followed by the performance on 23rd February.
Tickets for the concert are £10, with concessions £8.00

Shame they couldn't have found somewhere in Hay to have the Hay Open Mic night! Perhaps with the new year they'll take it back to Kilverts - used to be some cracking open mics in there years gone past.
