Open Mic at the Golden Fleece
"I run an open mic night every monday at The Golden Fleece, Nottingham. Open Mic at The Golden Fleece is firmly established as a popular and successful mainstay of Nottingham's music scene, providing an outlet for musicians and performers to show off their skills in a friendly city center venue. PA and sound engineer are provided, a house guitar is also available to use, and each act gets to perform three songs with "Featured Artists" performing a half hour set at the end of the night. Each night provides an eclectic mix of styles, from established signed artists to newcomers making their first public performance on stage. Artists who have played at these nights include Baz Warne (of The Stranglers), Nic Armstrong (IV Thieves), Grain, Deep Sound Channel, Jezz Hall, David Blazye, Beck Goldsmith, The Starrlings, Seretone, Mint Ive, Andy Whittle, James Chadwick, Foncheros and many, many more."
