About Me

Friends, out there, we want you to come and play a guest spot at the Blue Banana for thirty or so minutes. A wee chance to showcase your tunes. We will love and be kind to you and buy you drinks for your efforts. We are here every Tuesday, Message us to get a slot.We at the Blue Banana Open Mic are at the Bon Accord, North Street, (just down the road from the Mitchell Library and nextdoor to the Harley Davidson shop) Glasgow, Scotland (not Kentucky or anywhere else) every Tuesday night from around 8.30pm 'til midnight doing our thing.Our thing is creating a space for you to come and try out your tunes (originals and covers), play with and meet others who come with a range of musical and other mostly more hidden talents in a venue which allows for a great sound, has good beer and other drinks and a great bunch of staff, ably overseen by Thomas the Man.We've got a good PA system, acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, usually an electric guitar for noodlers and the odd egg, tambourine and harmonica. We are really happy for you to bring your own gear too. !
