The Golden Gun

Last night saw the introduction of the new Golden Gun Award. Every winner of the Tequila Shot Open Mic will receive a beautifully crafted Golden Gun. So delicious is the new award that I almost stole it myself. L.A SALAMI was the proud winner of the first Golden Gun and you can see him perform next week along side LIZ BENTLEY + ShortMAN.

The Golden Gun Award – win yours at next weeks open mic.

A whole lot of Rattling and Shaking…

If you didn’t make it down to Bang last night then you missed a whole lot of rattling and shaking from all the wonderful Gunslingers.

Liz Bentley rocked our world with an extremely funny and insightful set.
Paul Lyalls smiled a lot and seemed to sell quite a few books. I bought one. It is very good.
The World Famous Tequila Shot Open Mic went off with a Bang and Lucy Carrington is the new World Champion.

Here is the only picture of Lucy I could find – but it is more a picture of me. Lucy doesn’t have a phone or an email address – she does have a real address though.

Come On Lucy - Give it some!!!

What else happened? Martin’s live link from the jungle failed (the file was corrupt – a bit like the bloke who made it) so we will show it at next month’s Bang. Something to look forward to!

Popshot magazine came along for the crack. I think they enjoyed themselves. http://www.popshotpopshot.com/

And just so you know – we’ve had 500 hits on our Bang Said The Gun YouTube site – keep going Gunslingers – let’s keep watching ourselves. It is almost better the second time around!
