It's fun and free, including coffee, tea and homemade baked goodies by our own Alicia.

This promises to be a unique evening, so come along if you can.

TONIGHT!

Tomorrow night! Come along and see what goodies our superb baker Alicia comes up with. And whilst you're indulging in free refreshments, check out some of our new performers. It promises to be a fun evening.

Counting down ... two nights from tonight! We don't audition performers at open mic, but we've had a sneak preview of two musicians and one poet who are expected to join us for the first time, and they are good!

Three nights from tonight! Come along and check out the new performers (or be one yourself!) as well as the regulars.

One week from tonight! A bunch of new performers lined up. Come along and see them or even perform yourself. Free refreshments.

Two weeks from tonight! Lots of new talent expected.

At An Cuan Open Mic we honor, support, and promote our performers regardless of genre, regardless of skill level. Some are newcomers to performing, some are experienced professionals, all are honing their craft and sharing it in a welcoming place. Many who sing and play with us have released CDs, and two such performers were with us last time on 6 September: An Cuan newcomer Heather Innes and longtime An Cuan veteran Alex Atwell. We bought a copy of Heather's CD, "Here Comes the Day" from Belinda's shop, Good Craic Gifts and Souvenirs at 13 Church Street in Rostrevor. It features 18 beautifully sweet songs from Heather. Highly recommended. We've had Alex's full-length CD "Exposed" since its release, and it displays Alex's powerful and sensitive song-writing skills about peace and reconciliation. It's also available at Good Craic as are CDs from many, many other locals, ranging from the Sands family, including Na Leanai, to the McGraths, including father Matthew and daughter Catherine. The next An Cuan Open Mic is Thursday, 4 October, at 7:30 at 44 Shore Road in Rostrevor. Please consider coming along and sharing your talent while enjoying the talents of others in the area. Free refreshments, and you can't beat that!

An Cuan Open Mic newcomer Heather, who sang and played bodhran, was among the impressive array of performers Thursday night. There will be plenty of new performers at the next open mic, Thursday, 4 October, because a fresh group of trainees will be on hand for their six-month stint at An Cuan. Who knows what kind of talent they will be sharing? You, too, are welcome to add your performance talent to the mix as well. Refreshments will be free as usual.

We are ready for you! Are you ready for An Cuan Open Mic? It's tonight at 7:30, 44 Shore Road in Rostrevor. Alicia is baking some tasty goodies that will make the evening extra special. Entertainment and refreshments are all free of course!

Open mic is tomorrow night, but don't fret if you don't have a song, poem or performance all rehearsed and polished. It's not about that; it's about sharing with others something meaningful to you. Often people come to open mic to watch (which is great) but then spontaneously decide to sing that song or recite that poem (which is also great). Either way, come along for a most enjoyable evening, including free coffee, tea and goodies baked by our own baking whiz, Alicia.

The countdown to fun continues ... two nights from tonight!

Three nights from tonight! Awesome fresh baked goodies, coffee and tea free in addition to great entertainment.

One week from tonight! You know you've been wanting to share that song or poem or indulge that urge to be a stand-up comedian or juggler. Now's your chance to do it in a fun, non-judgmental setting.
