About Me

Although the Castle is re-opening soon, we are still not sure when/if the Open Mic will be up & running again. For the meantime, come to Trof in Northern Quarter on a Sunday night (5-8 Thomas Street, near Shudehill bus station). Cheers me dears x-------------------Free Cake! Open Mic Night @ The Castle Hotel, 66 Oldham Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1LE
Open mic night, jam night, random pretentiousness, blues jams, floorspots, poetry, screaming and showcases
Every Monday!!!
Open mic nights are a good way to try out new material, or to check out your local music scene, or to practise your heckling skills. Besides - it's free entertainment, its sometimes fun, a great place to talk about music, have a jam, maybe meet people who want to form a band or just to enjoy a few pints.
PA and (absolutely extremely) professional sound engineer are provided, if you can please bring your guitar/harmonica/trombone/self/glockenspiel/whatever it is that you play.
“Featured Artists” perform a half hour set at the end of the night. On stage @ 10.30pm, following open mic performers, the artist for each week is shown in the "up and coming shows"
Each night provides an eclectic mix of styles, from established signed artists to newcomers making their first public performance on stage.
All levels of musician welcome we won't laugh (much).
Cheers me dears
