Craig's Open Mic
I inherited my first Open Mic from Richard in The Monk & Tipster in 2006 and then moved to different locations as the years went by. :)
In the past the format saw solos with original material; harmonious duos; pot-head poets; pop; rock; folk; slop; rap; blues; jazz; old geezers trying to remember songs; children singing Christmas Carols; ambient bands; Celtic rock; jams; girls with ipods; boys with guitars...
If you want to turn up and jam on a few numbers at an Open Mic Night or a gig then that would be OK. In exchange for your efforts you may receive - a gig, a drink, conversations with strangers, all of the above or none of the above.
I have one Open Mic at
The New Inn, Silver Street, Abthorpe, Northants. NN12 8QR.
This has been going since 2017 and is on the second Sunday of each month from 4 till 7:30 approximately. It's generally amplified, but you can play it acoustically if you want.
Below are some random photos of Open Mic performers from rather a long time ago now:
