Christmas Open Mic: celebrating your performance at the final concert of the year

12 December 2021
In a year plentiful with memorable concerts we will finish the year by the opportunity for you and yours to take to the stage.
We provide an outlet for local acoustic performers – singers, songwriters & poets all welcome. We encourage all levels – novice or expert – to hone performance skills in front of a sympathetic audience.
