1147am 5th (or is it 4th) Birthday Bash @ The Cellar Bar (Worcester) 1147am is a unique and genius monthly night of live music held at The Cellar Bar in Worcester. No headline acts, no big names, just what seems like the entire Worcester music scene having one big party and playing a few tunes for the assembled masses. There is no running order. Its kinda like a relaxed open mic night but with a lot less ego. Its about meeting and having a few beers with fellow musicians, playing a few new songs, pumping out some old ones or just jamming wth other musicians of different genres.
Tonight we had a plethera of singer/songwriters take to the stage and perform a couple of nmbers each, half of the Zebady Rays did a couple of numbers, Pete from AWWBLOT doing his tribute to 1147am, and a couple of guys singing happy birthday to the club..not quite Marilyn Monroe, but moving, non the less.... sort of. These two guys then did an obscure version of Stand By Your Man, with the entire audience joining in. We also got a singer/songwriter performing a jazz version of Right Said Freds' Deeply Dippy accompanied by a hardcore drummer playing a minituture toy drumkit. Quite genius.
1147am is a wonderful idea, and this is their 4th Birthday bash so they must be doing something right.
