Saturday 1st May, Mega Open-mike event! - Zoom only

This Saturday 1st May 2pm-4pm we have a Mega Open-mike event that will be on Zoom.

We will NOT be at the Moon Café.  The Moon has a capacity of 20maximum till Friday.  The Government may lift capacity to 45 for Saturday but we won’t know that till Friday.  Also our sound engineer (Ben, Bob or replacement) may not be available on the day.  So this Saturday will be a ZOOM event only.  Don’t let that stop you from preparing though…
