Weekly open mic night for musicians, spoken word artists and budding comedians, with a PA, drum kit and guitars available.
Plugged In is back at The Jenny Lind on Monday 2 November, from 7pm to 10pm. It's one of the pub's weekly open mic nights, run by James Friis-Lawrence and Josh Gentle, and it's open to anyone who wants to get on stage. The night welcomes seasoned performers alongside first-timers, and the room caters to aspiring musicians, spoken word artists and budding comedians, so it's not just for bands.
The stage comes fully equipped, which is the best part if you're coming on your own or don't want to lug everything in. There's a PA, a drum kit, electric and acoustic guitars, a guitar amp, mics and an electric piano ready to go. It's a sign-up-when-you-arrive setup, and spots work on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you're planning to play, it's worth getting there early to make sure you get a slot.

Between the acts, there's plenty of beer to enjoy, and the whole thing runs in an intimate, supportive setting. It's the kind of night where raw, unpolished talent is the point, so it's as much for people testing out new material as it is for those who just want to play a few songs. Under-18s are welcome until 7pm, and the music carries on until 10pm. You'll find it at The Jenny Lind Inn, 69 High Street, Hastings TN34 3EW.
