More Music in Mylor

March 6, 2015

After having such and enjoyable experience taking in a Fringe concert last weekend, this weekend we headed back to Mylor for a musical variety night. Held the first Friday of each month, local musicians are offered 15 minutes on stage to perform 3-4 songs of their choosing. Ilene and Bob invited us to the event and we were pleased to bring Maynard and Lois with us to experience some Aussie country-style entertainment.

The $5.00/person entry fee got us each unlimited refills on coffee and tea for the evening as well as a raffle ticket. Carolyn purchased a cheese platter from the Canteen to supplement the nibbles we had brought with us.

Arriving just before the opening act, we got a table at the back of the hall near the sound booth. We quickly made friends with Rod and Ron, two of the evenings performers, and chatted a bit before they were called up on stage. They were a friendly duo who got the crowd into a sing-a-long.

In-between acts, the MCs started some joke telling. Then one performer did a 15 minute comedy routine, which had us in stitches! 🙂

The line-up was mostly guitar and singer combinations. However, the headliners for the evening, “Koalas at Night”, were a 4 piece jazz band. They had our toes tapping!

All in all, the music in Mylor was a great way to spend a Friday night!
