Band Members: All the fantastic musicians poets singers and and multitalented people who come and entertain for free on a wedsnesday evening! and not forgetting the wonderful audience who are usually so quiet when people are performing you can hear a pin drop sometimes, we have our rowdy nights too but basically its a very special thing we have at the stubbin wharf anyone is made to feel welcome we have our regulars, we also have people we only see once in a while and always new faces appearing or people back from college its a pleasure to see them all so if you,re at a loose end on a wedsnesday evening come join us that is the Open mic surgery !The Open mic is run by a steering group of about 12 people and is a nonprofit organisation any money raised by the club is put to good use supporting local music events like the hebden bridge woyd festival which once again was a great success .we are in our 5th nearly 6th year of the open mic which was founded by amongst others Josh who was a kind and considerate man who encouraged people to get up and play sadly no longer with us but his memory lives on a oms cd was recorded in Josh and Robs memory another key figure in the Open mic surgery .containing over fourty tracks from performers at the open mic the last few CDs are available at 5 pounds each plus postage and packaging.The wharf 0pen mic night can get very busy , we do try or best to let you perform twice sometimes its not possible if you have travelled a distance even more so ! And please let us know if you need to leave early so we can get you on we hate to disapoint hope to see you soon.
