danmas86 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Do you fancy getting down to an old fashioned talent contest? The monday open mic at Dempseys (moorfoot) has a new format the audience votes! voting tickets cost 50p, all ticket money goes to the performer voted for. the performer with the most votes performs an encore and wins a prize, and a chance to perform at sheffield pride 7pm onwards, all acts welcome free entry as usual until 9pm when usual rules apply. £3 all you can eat buffet DETAILS HERE: http://www.facebook.com/?tid=1391181597526&sk=messages#!/event.php?eid=149371078466866 let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That sounds like a really good idea and much fairer than some of the very dubious 'competitions' I've been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzybird77 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 It is a good idea except........ What happens is the people entering bring a boatload of friends/family with them so the person that wins is the person who brings the most supporters! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, there is a chance that the best will win over a few hearts and minds and pockets -rather than come away with absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmas86 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 she also won a bottle of bubbly, a box of chocolates, a place in the final (11th of july) - with a chance to perform at Sheffield Pride (18th of july) and all the 50p's from her votes she said she has only got up and performed a couple of times before, and everybody thought she was absolutely brilliant. - like a more modern pam ayres all of the runners up received their vote money photos on facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
