Open Mic Night

Chandos Arms

The Chandos Arms runs a monthly open mic on the second Wednesday at 8pm. It's a room where London musicians work through new material with an audience that listens properly. Free entry, no formality, the kind of night that works because it's regular and unpretentious.

You get to hear people before they've got it all figured out, which is often more interesting than the finished thing. The crowd is there because they actually want to be, not because they're following a hype curve. If you're curious about what's happening in the city's live music scene, this is a useful place to pay attention.
