Open Mic

London's best Open Mic, as voted for by the people that run it. Taking place in our new home (you might have attended a Guitar Social Open Mic in Kings Cross or one of our bars in Hackney) you can expect an Open Mic unlike any other.

We pride ourselves on making sure that everyone that attends gets a good hearing. We also love networking people, so you'll be introduced to people meaning that, unless you're specifically the sort that likes their own space, you won't have to sit all night feeling like a stranger at someone else's party.

You'll have a a perfect evening, whether you're performing or coming down to watch. This is our promise to you, a promise I would like you to keep in mind as you read through the below list of terms that reads like a passive aggressive welcome manual at a sketchy Air B and B.

Terms

Performance slots: Two songs, or about 8 minutes of whatever else you do.

Running order: The running order is decided upon on the night, based on several factors, and isn't provided in advance or even on the night (sorry!) You'll be given a rough estimated time slot on the night

Play and dash: If you don't have time to hang around after or before your performance, we ask that you join us on an evening when you have more time. We aim to make sure that everyone gets the same sized audience, old hands will know the crushing feeling of playing last to a room with about four people left in it, so, we kindly ask you not to play and dash. Unless your Bob Dylan. We aim to have all music concluded by 10.45 an no later than 11pm

Booking your slot: We can no longer accept walk ins. You'll need to book your slot ahead of time by emailing thomas@theguitarsocial.com
