It really depends on the venue.

Some open mics are 'loud' - folk out drinking & talking. You won't be heard.
Other open mics are 'listening rooms' - people are asked to keep it quiet.

The Bankers on Tuesday nights is a listening room. Check it out.


There is a new open mic night on Thursdays in The Mullingar House in Chapelizod, Dublin. If you're on Facebook look for the 'Thirsty Thursday' group. It's quite a loud audience - they listen alright but they like a few pints and a chat so be ready for that :-) It's run by a chap called Mark who brings in a nice PA system. Kicks off around 9:30-10:00pm and runs till late.

Thanks for the info.

Is this a turn-up-and-play night or do you line-up a few performers in advance ? How much time does each performer usually get ?

Hi guys

I'm interested in starting a Singer/Songwriter Showcase night in Cork. Can you give me a few tips and ideas for this.
Thanks a mil.

Big thanks to Marlowe/Aidan for a great job maintaining that list. I was looking for a list like this (everything in one place) for a long time. The only night i've done is Naked Lunch. It's a really good night - there were about 30 people there the night i was on giving these an airing. They do a mixture of poetry and music and usually close with a band.

I'm wondering where to do next...O' Donoghues i think to avoid a huge crowd (keep the nerves at bay )

Cheers,
Mick

I'm new to this site so not sure where to post my music question

I would love if someone could give me chords for the following songs...I've already tried chordie.com and ultimate-guitar.com but not successful...THANKS

I'm loving learning the guitar especially when doing it via choosing songs and learning it on a per song basis

1. The Voyage - Christie Moore
2. The First Time Ever I saw Your Face - Christie Moore
3. Smile - Michael Jackon
4. Heal The World - Michael Jackson
5. She's out of my life - Michael Jackson

Mega mega big thanks

Wrong forum, but I pm'ed you the chords for the first one anyway.
It's in 3/4, so each chord lasts for 3 beats.
I only wrote for the first half of it, I assume the rest is the same ...

Have fun...

I dont know how yous could go into these little places and play, knowing everyone could hate you. :O

I'd easily go out if I knew they were people would thought I was good, but playing in front of complete strangers? :O

Like, its not like I've never done anything in front of a crowd. Sure nuff, I've danced in the Helix and wasn't nervous beforehand at all. But knowing that this crowd could be like "oh, I don't like her" and booing me and stuff and like might think I'm awful is terrible to think of!

You never know who might be there either. D:
