The 2008 season of Open Mic at Beeses' is always held indoors now, as shown in the top-most pics below, after extensive modifications have been done to open up the interior. Long view to the performers in the right-hand far corner behind the pillar.  Closer view, showing plenty of seating and tables for those interested in the music going on.  Richard Burley and Richard Riley started the evening off with 3 numbers.  Norman Oxley then came on to sing some of his bluesy numbers.  And not forgetting The Willbees, Humph Bennett and John Blake. John is the host for the Open Mic evening.  "Loop" (Neil Graham) sings a few songs. All images below are from the 2007 season, when the Open Mic sessions were sometimes held outdoors.  Richard Riley entertains at Beese's Tea Gardens in the 2007 dry-weather setting for the open mic sessions. There was a large room inside for those very rare occasions when it rained during our UK summer!
