Blue Monday is held at the Blue Cat Cafe every Monday. Previous guest appearances include Haven, Tom Hingley (ex Inspiral Carpets), Electric Six and a host of new talent cutting their teeth in the world of songwriting and performance.
The night is hosted by a selection of special guest comperes. It is a friendly and informal event that regularly attracts good audiences & many performers go on to play full band gigs at the venue.
PA and lighting is provided. Performers should arrive by 8pm in order to sign in at the bar. After that just tune up, relax and enjoy the night. You will normally get to play two to three songs (original material only)
