Great Music Venue, Talented Host, great for newbies and uumm not newbies too...
If you've been going to live music around Leicester for any amount of time you'll know the donkey pub, i think its a great great live music venue I've seen some great acts there and had some bonza night in there too...
But I'm confused now, I've been to the open mike at the donkey a few times and its always very quiet admittedly its a bigger venue than most open mikes so it needs more people to make it feel busy, but even so, there were 4 players including me. I'm sure that there are night that this place rocks on a Wednesday. But the night i went there was Rhett Barrow, Kev Lee, Anne Mary and myself, 3 class acts that you would pay good money to see in there own right and a bald bloke doin a load of shouty stuff.....
Host Calder who is also a singer songwriter, with his powerful delivery, well tuned sound and neatly played songs warms the place up ready for the open mike acts. The beauty of it being less busy is that we get the chance to do a few more songs, so all players got to do 2 short sets and as the evening went on everyone relaxed and it turned into a very chilled out and enjoyable low key night of music.
I just wish more people got to see it.
If you're a player get your ass down there and get a chance to stretch your legs.
If your a music fan get your ass down there and check out some great tunes and the sofas are really really comfy too....
See u at the next gig
