Open Mic at the Golden Fleece
"I run an open mic night every monday at The Golden Fleece, Nottingham. Open Mic at The Golden Fleece is firmly established as a popular and successful mainstay of Nottingham’s music scene, providing an outlet for musicians and performers to show off their skills in a friendly city center venue. PA and sound engineer are provided, a house guitar is also available to use, and each act gets to perform three songs with “Featured Artists” performing a half hour set at the end of the night. Each night provides an eclectic mix of styles, from established signed artists to newcomers making their first public performance on stage. Artists who have played at these nights include Baz Warne (of The Stranglers), Nic Armstrong (IV Thieves), Grain, Deep Sound Channel, Jezz Hall, David Blazye, Beck Goldsmith, The Starrlings, Seretone, Mint Ive, Andy Whittle, James Chadwick, Foncheros and many, many more."

K Anderson
A somewhat itinerant youth saw K relocate from his birthplace of Dumfries to the warmer environs of Australia at the age of eight, spending time in Adelaide and Melbourne before returning to the UK in 2004. Throwing himself headlong into the London acoustic singer-songwriter circuit, snapping at the heels of recognition, K’s hard work paid off with the independent release of his acclaimed EP ‘Five Stories’ in 2006. By turns disarming, poignant and barbed, K’s meticulously crafted tales of dissolution, disorientation and (re)discovery struck a resonant chord with whomsoever chose to listen. With its unflinching, blow-by-blow account of life as a homosexual urbanite, the grit and passion of K’s vocal informs you that he means every word. Here, a masculine roguishness mingles with a traditionally more female sensitivity; “lesbian music by a boy,” he calls it, with tongue discreetly in cheek.www.myspace.com/kandersonmusic
