Blueberry Bar Open Mic Event in Shoreditch

This open mic is not your typical venue. It is pretty noisy, full of non-performing guests on a night out, and does not require 100% focus on the performers. It is brilliant for bringing friends along for a fun night out of drinking, eating and even playing some ping pong.

How can I sing at the event? You must (slots are limited) e-mail Iain at pluggedin007@gmail.com to book your slot ASAP. He does have some limited walk-in slots for the night; however, it is a very busy open mic so if you don't pre-book, you most probably will not be able to perform more than 1 song. The website with further details can be found here: http://www.pluggedinswitchedon.com

What is the event type? Reviews say it is very popular open mic night that runs from 7:30 - 10pm. Very noisy and the later the night gets the harder it can be to hear the musicans. However, this can be an advantage if you don't want to spend the whole night focussed on listening to music and would rather have some time to socialize with your friends/guests.
