THURSDAY @ BrewDog Clerkenwell / FARRINGDON / HOLBORN / ANGEL

Please follow our Updates Group to be kept in the loop for this and all our open mic nights

All Styles & Experiences are welcome 🙂

About the Event:

Our Featured Artists Nights are a chance for talented solo acts, duos, and bands to shine in a longer performance slot. Each act gets 30 to 45 minutes to showcase their music to an engaged audience at some of London’s best live music venues.

How to Get a Performance Slot:

Reach Out: Email us at team@ukopenmic.com with your name, preferred date, and a live video of a previous performance.
Reserve Your Slot: Once approved, we’ll confirm your slot and add you to the lineup.
Arrive Early: Check-in by 6:50 PM to ensure everything is set up for your performance.
For Spectators: 🎟️ No ticket needed! Just walk in and enjoy the show.

Important Notes

Performance slots are 30-45 minutes (including setup)..
Full PA provided—just bring your instrument and any backing tracks (if needed).
Arrive at least by 6:50pm to check in with the host.
Cancellations – If you can’t make it, let us know ASAP so we can give your slot to another artist.
Support the Venue -The venue generously hosts these events, so please support them by purchasing at least one item from the bar. This helps ensure the night can continue!

Rules:

We run warm, friendly, relaxed and welcoming music nights. In order to keep things running smoothly we have a few rules.

By reserving your slot, you agree to:

Be nice and supportive to everyone you meet, and try to stay for all the performers - this is not a competition! Let's help each other :)
Be ready to play, by the stage, when it's your turn (i.e. tuned up, instruments at the ready!)
All slots are subject to last-second change by the host (e.g. if no one wants to go first, everyone might have to move forward one slot!)
Please don't go over your time as you are eating into the other performers' time. The host may well cut your slot mid-performance if you go over your allotted time! (30 minutes, except the host says otherwise).
Backing tracks are welcome, but you must bring your own player (e.g. cd player, mp3 player, etc) that has a normal 3.5mm mini-jack headphone socket (like the one on most phones, except new iPhones) that we can plug into (we have the cable)
Respect the UK Open Mic equipment (and anyone else's!) and do your best to look after and be mindful of it.

NB. Also, the venue reserves the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason whatsoever - including for not making any purchases (it's their place, and their business, after all!). It's incredibly rare that this happens, but abusive, drunken or threatening behaviour, overtly aggressive or insulting performances or consuming ones own food and drink are some of the reasons why it might happen. Just sayin!
