THE New Inn is launching an open mic night next week, giving musicians of all ages the chance to showcase their talent in front of a live audience.
The event will take place on the first Wednesday of the month at 7pm with the launch night being held next Wednesday, 7th March.
Landlord Ken Gibbons said, “We want the New Inn to become more of a music pub and this will give budding artists in the area the chance to hone their craft on a live stage.
“There are not many opportunities in the area for artists to gain the experience of performing in front of an audience, so hopefully this will give them some valuable experience.
“Also, we are on the look out for support acts for our summer events, so if they impress us and the crowd, there might be more opportunities down the line for them.
“Anyone wanting to perform should turn up on the night. We have new PA equipment and an electric piano if needed by the artist. There will be a compere to help set up. Artists should bring their own backing track and any instruments they intend to play.”
The New Inn will also begin hosting open mic nights for comedians on the last Wednesday of every month, with the first night taking place on Wednesday 28th March.
