The Nelson will be bringing back the Rock Karaoke on a monday night from 9th January. come and blast out your favourite rock anthems and have a few drinks!

Sounds like a plan, I'll be coming down to support it :thumbsup:

As much as I'd like to, last time I went to the Nelson I was refused entry, some idiot Bouncer thought I was drunk, I wasn't! I'd been on J2Os all night in the Sportsman (Cambridge St), I just sometimes walk like I am due to disability.

who is the DJ ?

I am, been DJing for about 17 years, into rock music, there will be no Kylie etc lol...

What's your position on Meat Loaf and/or Cher? Not that I'll be attending due to the aforementioned numpty door staff, just wondered is all..

They have a few decent songs each, but not really my cup of tea, sort of things I would listen to vary, Foo fighters, chilis, green day, blink 182, guns n roses, nirvana, free, black Sabbath, hawkwind, Volbeat, Metallica, drop kick Murphys, pearl jam, ugly kid Joe, reef, blur, arctic monkeys, rage against the machine, system of a down, bowling for soup, reel big fish etc etc etc (but I'm always up for extra education lol)

as for door staff, I wouldn't know about that side of things, as I've not encountered problems personally x

Worth a try.
One of the rock pubs I frequent has started playing top 40, so I may give it a wide birth.
However, there can only be one rockokie DJ and everyone knows who that is :)

If you mean Andy, he said he'll come in, and please don't write people off before you've seen them.

Its a bit like Highlanda,
"there can only be one rockoke DJ"
the Quickening has begun

Well I'm counting on it being a decent night! So let's hope everyone can come and enjoy themselves and hammer out some tunes ;-) I know I'll be doing a few at least.

Unlike some people on here I don't actually care about my post count, I go for quality, not quantity.

So its almost here!
7.30 this Monday, 9th Jan
Let's make it a good night, and come down for drinks and rockoke!

Will it actually be open ?
Its not been open yet this week :suspect:

Yep, confirmed this morning, It's opening Mondays from after 5ish, starting Monday 9th Jan.

Can I ask you when this was? Virtually every time The Nelson has been mentioned over the years you've come out with this tired old story Give it a rest for God's sake.
The bar has definitely had new management AT LEAST once since it occurred so there is every chance that the same "numpty" doorman doesn't work there now.

Good luck with the Rockaoke.
Used to enjoy the vibe on Rockaoke night in there.
(not keen on the new bright colour scheme by the way-for my 2 penneth).
