It is with great sadness that the community heard the news of the death of Peter Woolnough.
Pete, soundman for twenty years at the Tuesday night Bangalow Brackets Open Mic, and the creator of Bigfoot stomp boxes, died while on a cycling trip in New Zealand with close friends.
To honour Pete and celebrate his 20 years of dedication to Open Mic musicians – providing tailored sound expertise and a fantastic sound system – tonight’s event will be a Memorial Open Mic Night at the Bangalow Hotel from 7pm until 10.30pm.
If you’d like to perform two songs, please arrive early to secure your spot on the board. We’ll also set aside time at the end for an all-in jam.
Slim Pickens will be our sound man on the night.
