'OPEN MIC NIGHT' for POETS & SINGER SONGWRITERS with LIVE BACKING BAND! B.Y.O.C. (Bring your Own Chords)

Lovers of acoustic music, new songwriting and new poetry - make your way down to Ronson's at 9pm for a candle lit night that will be both engaging, humorous and emotional!

SONGWRITERS & POETS : Bring your chord charts / music notation at 8pm for a soundcheck with the band!

We encourage all artists to perform one song or poem solo, in addition to one or two songs with the band, but this is not a must!

If you're a poet, let us hear your words, accompanied by a score improvised right then and there by the band! Please make sure all chord charts / poems are in LARGE PRINT and easily readable for our musicians. (If you’re unsure what to do as a musician have look here at the simplest version of SLASH NOTATION: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_chart#Slash_notation.

Stage fright? Performers get a drink on the house!

The Rules - for the performers and audience: No cover versions, only original songs allowed. Audience must be respectful to the performers and therefore quiet during performances. There will be an interval. Songs should be no longer than 8 minutes.

Hosted by Jon Campbell
