Open Mic night at The Railway, Alton

07/08/2026

Well that was a great night, I wasn't at my best ( Adam writing here ) both my back and aged eardrums said so, but it was truly one of those wonderful nights of musical, escalating brilliant that reminds oneself of why we do this. The very energy of the room went from slightly trepidus to actually, rather brilliant, so much was the duality of performers, music, words, energy from both audience and those who gave us their all. Not sure I can name all but I will try to and say thanks, apologies if I missed someone

We return in September, on the 4th, and that will be for the 95th time, as summer fades, we continue to do as we do, offer a space where people can artistically connect, live a freedom of expression, and build upon their art in a positive way ... and of course be a part of a non judgemental space, the duality of the gift is a wonderful thing, thanks to all who came and what a brilliant audience you all were, so many smiles and sing along's :) stay blessed in the knowing :)

Well tonight was nothing less than a bit quiet, but a lovely intimate affair of note one would say. It was the 93rd time we have run one of these events @ The Railway Arms and as much as the football, the tennis, the weather that can punish a working day and/or commute there was a very personal thing in every performance, so a point of note :)

Thanks to those who stepped up and gave something, there was....

You all did something, shared and gave something special, it's not always about the audience, the numbers there, it is sometimes more about what you all bring into a room, and how you all hold the flame. We are privileged, you lot were and are epic, we are the lucky ones, it counts, you count, never let go of the knowing it's very real as is what we share, we are all blessed thankyou 🙏
