OPEN MIC NIGHT

Our popular open mic night takes place monthly from 7pm to 11pm in the Live Room. This chilled evening session is a chance for all you singers, songwriters, musicians, and performers to come along and test out new material, get out of the bedroom and play to a welcoming audience of fellow artists.

Open Mic – Songwriting Showcase | 12.11.2024

Whether you’re a regular at the open mics in Liverpool and the Wirral or it’s your first time looking to show-off your work, there’s no better testing ground for new song ideas than around other performers, and our monthly showcase offers you that in a warm, friendly environment, up on our main Live Room stage.

Open Mic generally takes place on Tuesdays, but occasionally on a Wednesday, depending on the schedule. Head to our Listings page to see the most up to date schedule.

You don’t need to book in advance, just turn up and play. Or if you just want to come along as an observer and listen to some great new music, you’ll also be most welcome.

Storied musician and FY Propeller Mentor Katie Mac is the primary host of our monthly open mic night, guiding you effortlessly through the evening. Katie is a vastly experienced live + recording artist and the perfect host for a relaxed, supportive vibe.

A number of additional guest hosts will drop by to perform and invite some collaborators along throughout the year, but it’s very much an open door policy and we want to see people turning up on the night with a bag of ideas and performing for our receptive regular open mic crowd!

If you need to get in touch with anything about the open mic night – travel, specific access requirements, setup for the night – you can get in touch with our host on openmic@futureyard.org.
