Hot Night at the Jack Doyle Pub Open Mic in Budapest

BUDAPEST – It was a real hot night at the open mic in Budapest last night, at Jack Doyle’s Irish pub. Unfortunately, I mean that literally! It was so hot – like around 37 or so inside the pub, and only a few degrees lower outside – that I think the usual open mic crowd got scared away. Well, that fell very much to my advantage in two ways.

It meant that I could sit back and listen to a very long set by the duet that has hosted this open mic for a few years, and really appreciate their stuff. It also meant I could give them a big break and do a long set of my own, which lasted at least half an hour.

Oh, and of course, it also meant I could enjoy the cold Kilkenny even more than I usually do….

Stay tuned for more hot stuff in Budapest!
