It's very moving watching and sharing with people doing their thing at Ostrich Open Mic.
Taking time away from the treadmill and the narrative machine to write/learn songs, hone your chops, find your voice, enjoy your voice. It's not grand, it's warm and convivial. Not to be monetised or measured for utility to the globocap monster... so here's to...
Mollie-Alice Furlong, Gene Grimes, Carol Stubbs, Emily Rowan, Sylvia Winter, Trevor Nurse, Brian Race, Carol O'Neill, Chris Moorhouse..

And back up provided by Carolyn Caro Ash Dave Crow... heads up Colin Wilson do you sing?

Enjoy May, See you in June..x Jonny
