Tonight Bar

I came through the back door of ‘TONIGHT BAR’ today … One final sweep.

I poured myself a pint … sat quietly at the bar for 20 minutes … just looking at the stage as I sipped.

I thought about the 100’s of shows that happened right there in front of that tape-filled wall.

Some by people who already perform in theatres & arenas.
Some by people who are so clearly on their way there.
Some who are finding their voice more & more each time they hit a stage.
Some who are just blindly giving it a shot because they feel something strong inside and wanna see if they can find others who feel the same.

Regardless of where anyone might land on that scale = they were all F’n magic!

Here’s why -

Millions of people go through life never finding the courage to even try.
I’ve met countless people who voice their regret for never giving it a shot.
To stand in front of a crowd and offer an artistic way of seeing the world ...
Whether through a joke or a melody, those creatives bring a lot of colour to an often beige world.
It takes a lot of spine ... and for that, they all have my respect.
I think I showed that over the last 5+ years, and I take incredible pride in the veritable landslide of kind messages I’ve received in the last few days from artists who brought their energy through this place.

Don’t stop.

Raise your flag and see who salutes it.

Thank you all for getting what we were doing over here.
.. That was a tasty pint.
