The Parlour upstairs in the stags head pub is a lovely venue especially for accoustic gigs also if you wish to do good for charity the ruby sessions in doyles always gets a great crowd.

they always have a turbo crowd

didnt think the parlour was still going.

as of last week the stags head is under new ownership. i think i heard over the weekend that they're not taking any gigs for the moment. Shame really. Lovely spot.

'Singer/Songwriter acoustic-guitar-type' musicians are really just lazy songwriters, with no capacity for arrangement.


Please discuss.

Nonsense

Like most things: stinks when it's bad - heavenly when it's good
(admittedly has been an overly busy thoroughfare over the last decade)

But could a decent acoustic guitar driven tune be made even better with an interesting arrangement?


Just playing devil's advocate here...I do think a good song is a generally a good song at the base.

Or a bit of electricity perhaps?

 

[rikredbrain]

its an interesting question.... look at green days good riddance.... a beutifull wee song.... but if you add a band it sounds like everyother green day hit of the time.... so it works as a stand alone acoustic (and yes i am aware that they have strings in the background but thats just incidental)

the same applies to extremes song more than words.....

 

[glen]

Great song that.
