Every Tuesday night, the Barracuda bar in Derby has an alter ego as the home for the finest up and comming stars from the vibrant Derby music scene.
The Barracuda bar has, by far, one of the best sounding open mic nights ever! With top quality instruments provided and a phenominal in-house speaker system filling a grand building, playing at the Barracuda Bar makes you feel like a real rock star.
We have an array of players, all with their own unique style and sound. The myspace player on consists of a very small sample of some of the wonderfull music that comes through our speakers every Tuesday. Check out our "Influences" list and all our wonderfull freinds to get a better idea of what goes on.We've been running this night for three years now, and have established ourselves as part of the open mic community which has taken Derby by storm.
If you're out and about on a Tuesday night in Derby and want good music, cheap drinks, and an awesome atmosphere, come on down to the Barracuda bar from about 9pm. Instruments are provided for the open mic, but please feel free to bring your own.
Don't forget to keep supporting the Derby live music scene by visiting Rynas bar on a Wednesday or a Sunday, as it's a valuable assett to the Derby acoustic Scene.
COMMING UP:
Every Tuesday from 9.00pm Open Mic Night
"Open Mic" is on every Tuesday offering you the best in raw, local talent. But be warned, attitudes need to be left at the door. As a wise man once said "Barracudas open mic is about people who like playing, not people who want paying!".
Some time soon:
We are currently putting together a CD from the the open mic performances to highlight to the world what fantastic music wanders through our doors every week. If you would like to be involved (and we havn't already spoken to you about it) simply come down and play, and you'll end up with some live recordings and, hopefully, a space on our CD :D
And Finally: Don't forget to add yourself to the Barracuda mailing list to get some great offers and stay up to date with everything thats going on. Add yourself at www.barracudabars.co.uk/derby
