After six great events now the Open Mic in The Paxton Centre is starting to really take shape and gather momentum.

At the last event we had 14 acts and a great range of singer-songwriters and spoken word, and just as importantly, a really appreciative audience !

Come along to listen and enjoy !

We welcome.... Musicians, singers, poets, comedians, actors, spoken word (we're open to random acts as well ! )
