We are delighted to continue partnering with The Stage Door and J Fashole-Luke to host a series of open mic nights to the city for young musicians (under 18) to participate in!  Each night will feature a house band of local musicians with a wide variety of styles, genres and instruments who will host and support young people to participate.

How to take part:

For Under 18s!

Sign ups will be operated via a digital form using the button or QR code below.

(Digital Form not yet live, this will be coming soon so keep an eye out!)

Students and parents can sign up independently or teachers are welcome to sign up school groups to perform.

You will then be contacted for more information about your set or technical/support requirements by the music hub team to ensure you are ready to perform on the night!

Participants and parents are also very welcome to attend a session in advance and observe only - with no pressure to perform unless you feel ready.

Parents will need to book ‘pay what you can’ tickets to attend with their children via button below.

Please note:

• Anyone in school year 11 or below will need to be chaperoned either by a parent/guardian or by a teacher if attending with a school group. 

• Performers are asked to use family friendly lyrics, but we can’t promise this is always followed. If you have any concerns about this, please speak to a member of the team.
