Balloch musician Joe Quinn has joked that he’s created a monster after online open mic nights set up during lockdown became a worldwide hit.
Joe, who ran the popular open mic nights at Balloch’s Dog House for 15 years prior to the March 2020 lockdown, set-up online events after finding himself struggling with the lack of live gigs.
And he now has nearly 3,000 members and a worldwide audience – including people from Australia, America, Canada, the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Argentina, South Africa and all corners of the UK, who tune in and play live.
