Eikon: The Open Mic

About Me

Born in October 2007, Eikon Open Mic is a celebration of the arts and music community in Edinburgh! Once a month, we gather to pull our talent out of the box and try new things. Tricky collaborations, weird music, slam poetry, one-act plays, spontaneous painting ... other things lurking in your imagination ... these are yours to enjoy at Eikon Open Mic.

Sign up 19:30-20:00. No later!

Bring a demo on the night and we might just add your music to this page!

Actors, painters, dancers, chefs, poets, makers of short films, cartoonists, visual artists, photographers, jugglers, songwriters, classical musicians, others ... you’re wanted here ...
