I’ve now had a chance to make some estimations and calculations. Here is everything you wanted to know about the open mic tour, summarized numerically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Distance travelled (approx miles)<\/td>\n800      <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Open mics played<\/td>\n8      <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
No. of songs played<\/td>\n23      <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Songs per open mic<\/td>\n2.87500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Songs per mile<\/td>\n0.02875<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Miles per song<\/td>\n34.782  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Open mics per mile<\/td>\n0.01   <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Miles per open mic<\/td>\n100      <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n


\nNote: the number of songs played only applies to Moogieman, this was slightly different for Lewis.<\/p>\n

For those patiently waiting for a quantitative comparison of the different open mics on the tour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Open mic location<\/th>\nDistance travelled<\/th>\nSongs played<\/th>\nSongs per mile<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Birmingham<\/td>\n78<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n0.02564<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Hebden Bridge<\/td>\n118<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n0.01695<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Manchester<\/td>\n67<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n0.04478<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Heckmondwike<\/td>\n46<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0.00000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
York<\/td>\n43<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n0.11628<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Nottingham<\/td>\n93<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n0.03226<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Huddersfield<\/td>\n78<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n0.02564<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Leicester<\/td>\n102<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n0.04902<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Oxford<\/td>\n79<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0.01266<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Note: ‘distance’ is the total distance travelled from the previous open mic to the one listed in each row (or from Oxford in the case of the first one); the total distance travelled doesn’t add up to 800 miles because this table doesn’t include the pointless extra trip to Heckmondwike on Saturday; previous caveats about song numbers also apply.<\/p>\n

For ease of comparison here is a radar diagram showing the songs per mile for each open mic destination.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/p>\n

We can see from the diagram that York was the clear winner. Go York!<\/p>\n

As the famous Hungarian photographer, Martin Munkacsi said, ‘A picture is not worth a thousand words, it’s worth a thousand bucks’, but this chart is absolutely worthless.<\/p>\n

Have you done an open mic tour? Post up your stats and I’ll create another pointless bar or pie chart or perhaps a scatter diagram, or we could even start to build a cartographical information graphic to make (non)sense of the figures.<\/p>\n
