One Night Stand - Acoustic

If you ever feel the urge to share your musical talent in front of a friendly audience of like-minded people, come along to a Workshop event (two song limit). This series also includes Showcase nights, where great bands have only 15-20 minutes to impress. These events take place every 8 weeks or so and will soon be complimented by the Best of One Night Stand - Acoustic. They have a good quality PA, so you'll only need to bring your instruments. Helping to organise the events is Mark, the lead singer with Blood Red Sky. Check out the Events section for future dates.

Venue: Jagz, Station Hill, Ascot, Berkshire, SL5 9EG

More info: One Night Stand - Acoustic or Jagz, Ascot

Admission: by Ticket only £3 (doors 7:30pm, start 8:15pm, end 11pm)

One year old and growing up fast

This site is now a year old, and I'd like to thank all the bands and some of the publicans who have helped in making it one of the best places on the web to find out whats on where and when in the South-East of England. I'm still hoping for a greater response from all of you music fans out there in suggesting new bands and venues, and sharing your opinions of the best local free live music.

Open Audition - Live & Unsigned 15th Dec 2007

Each act will have about 2 mins, to demonstrate their talent, not long, but thats all part of the game. Other auditions for the 2008 competition are being held in Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol, Guildford, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Sheffield and Southampton.

Venue: Princes Hall, Aldershot

Open Mic Nights - New and Old

Its a very strange situation when some Open Mic Nights are being cut by breweries / management as they can't see the benefit of bringing in so many customers on mid-week nights. Recent losses include The Black Swan, Oakham and The Albion, East Molesey. However some new Open Mic Nights are just starting up. On Sunday night, the place to be is The Slug and Lettuce, Guildford. The local blues guitarist SHACKLETON, Will is hosting "The Sunday Sessions" a great showcase for young and talented musicians. Another Open Mic Night "Blue Velvet" will be launched on the 29th May, at The Remix Bar, Woking and is being organised by NEADS, Anthea who plays solo and with her husband Matt in Inimitable Dragonfly. It will only be once a month on the last Thursday. The new owners at the Mayford Arms, Woking will also be running one on alternate Tuesday's starting sometime soon.
