Ann made music

The New Cross Inn has been buzzing every Tuesday for at least a year now and last night was the first time I passed through the place. Hosted every week by Sebastian Frost, there is always a variety of music on show. I was taken a back by a band called Ann Made music, they put on a show that pleasantly surprised me. The sound was that of modern R&B but the lyrics were of experience and positive state of thinking. They are an average looking group of individuals but when they do their thing they are far from average. This group of individuals with a unique sound and talents grabbed my attention at the open mic night at the New Cross Inn. They combine keyboard, bongo drums and and beat box. This different style of combiniing conventnoinal, electric and voices makes for an new form of music thgat could easily relate to society in most parts of the world and wilkl probably develop into a genre of it's aown if it catches on!I can honestly say that this lot are going to make waves in the near future and are definitly  going to be around for a long while yet. They have a facebook page as a means of connecting to fans and keeping them updated with whats going on with the band. I have a good feeling about these guys as I am positive they will appeal to a variety of audiences. Keep an eye out for Ann Made Music.

Open Mic Night

Every Tuesday for the past 4 years Sebastian Frost has been hosting an open mic night at the New Cross Inn. This is not your normal open mic event though, most are the type to be associated with a particular genre and that is it! This is a special sevening because you have all sorts of genres represented, I mean you have some bands that play metal, then you have hip hop, a bit of jazz. The list is endles and for that reason I have attended the event in continuous succession and I can understand why performers keep coming back and why the same applies to the crowd. The variation of the music in one night is phenomenal! Obviously there is going to be some genres I particularly listen to but I am a firm believer in recognising something good when it comes your way. The Open Mic Night has had interest from people in and around the UK. There has been performances by bands from England, Ireland and Norway. The popularity of the event has had an increment of patronage since the begining and there is no sign of any change appart from maybe even more people coming to support their local band or just curious to see what is new on the scene. Entry is absolutely FREE all night and there is free drinks for performers. This event is open to the public so if you know you have a musical talent lto share, who knows where you could end up after a few performances at the Open Mic Night Every Tuesday night from 7pm.
