    Hello,

    I am planning on moving to London for work and am hoping to get a job in or around that area. I am also very interested in playing many open mic nights and doing as many gigs as possible during the time I am there. I feel it would be a great experience and hope to possibly get my name out too.

    Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for places to do gigs or what to expect?

    Know any places in England which I consider going to?

    Recommendations?

    Would be great if someone could give me an insight to what its like to be a musician trying to get gigs over there.

    Btw I am a solo act I play acoustic guitar and sing and use some extra equipment like a loop station to help create a fuller, bigger sound.

    Any input appreciated, cheers.

    http://www.pluggedinswitchedon.com/ is well worth playing.

    beauty of london is there are open mics on everywhere all the time so you won't have trouble finding them. of course quality varies - sound, audience, location. did loads of different nights over there but the above one was the best.

    good luck
