If
you like good music in a good bar and friendly
atmosphere
OPEN MIKE at COOK ISLAND, MULLACOTT CROSS, ILFRACOMBE
is the place to be on a Thursday evening.
Every Thursday Mike, Clive, and Jennie
run an Open Mike Night. The evening started
in 2004 to give the opportunity to performers
of all types of music and ages to practise their
performance skills in front of a very supportive
audience without the pressure of gigging. Performers
and members of the audience come from as far
a field as Torrington, South Molton, Bideford
and Combe Martin plus many of the smaller villages
close to Cook Island.

The
evening commences with the Houseband (AVERAGE
BLUES BAND) and then progresses with a real
cross section of musicians ranging from unaccompanied
solo singers and unplugged acoustic duos, to
definitely plugged bands. No two Thursdays are
the same.

The
age range moves from 10 yrs to 70 yrs and on
many occasions there is a real cross section
of all ages performing at one time. The band
will provide backing for performers if wanted,
and there is an excellent sound mixing system
plus backline and drums for all to use.
