Before I give you a run down of Thursday night congratulations must be written.
Well down to all who graduated on Friday.
Our very own Stevie Wynn, well down, seems like you haven't been out of a suit all week.
Ellie Thomas, nice to hear about you feeling better & climbing trees & statues on the day.
Finally, the delightful magnificent & beautiful Nikki Ross. You looked wonderful last night & your graduation was well deserved as we all know how hard you worked for it. A real achievement whilst looking after two beautiful children & that pesky husband of yours.
Well down all you offically qualified monkeys.

More congratulations must also be dished out to Icallshotgun who played their debut set at osmc on thursday. A local band with a sound reminisent of Radiohead, helped greatly by the lead singers beautiful & haunting voice. This band have a large local following & I'm sure this is due to the quality of their performance, very tight & together. It is rare to come across a band that really communicate with their audience & it was most lovely to have them sitting on stage, facing the audience & talking about their songs. A beautiful communication that made the performace feel very personal & intimate. Check out their Myspace for their next gig, this is a band you must see.

I wandered into the osmc last night expecting exactly what was here, a heaving venue, smiles & laughter, lots of dancing & an incredible band.

Dr Dark are basically the doors meets the beatles with a heavy ska influence. These guys create an amazing sound (I never thought that you could do that to a guitar, drums, violin, bass) & have a fantastic stage presence. They will be back again & we are very much looking forward to it.

We had a Fantastic debut last night from the wonderful Cat. It's very rare that a musician can hold an audience with just their voice & a Guitar, but Cat does this perfectly, I must admit I wasn't here when she played to a full ballroom, however as I was cleaning up from my toatie praticing she came in for her sound check & gave me goosebumps. She is just what we had been waiting for, beautiful haunting voice, wonderful lyrics that make you want to cry into her shoulder and not a sliver of pretence. I have booked her in for Bluesday Tuesday so catch her here on Tuesday if you missed her last night.

Another lively night for the folks that managed to get into osmc tonight.

Weren't you funny monkeys luckym to get in, v. budy & fun.

Wonderful performace from lovwly CAT, NOT REALLY A FELINE, ZA PERSON, AM CURRENLLY ATTEMPTINGH NTO GET HER ONTO BLUDAY BTUESDAY.CEAUTIiful voice, captive aduience, what more could i wanttt

Wow, what an amazing night. Katie B sang the blues & got the whole place rocking. It was quality to see alot of the people that had been there the week before back again, we love return custom, it means we get to know who you are & what you like, this is so important to us, as we love to bring music to everyone.

How happy was I to see you all dancing your little socks off, you lovely (yet crazy) people, you fill me with happiness when I see you having such a lush time.

Katie B once again filled our space with her beautiful voice, she makes me tingle sometimes. Adam lynch did a little singing as well, that he always does so well, Jimmi R blues as always was a magnificent compare. Many thanks must go out to Katie's band, Jeremy on bass, Jake on Guitar, Ian on drums, Adam on sax & James on saprono sax, sorry if I forgot anyone.

I am pleased with the positve reception to table service, please remember that we are trying this out, so bear with us, we are getting there.

must go, my curly fries are burning.
