Weekly Thursday open mic night at The Pig pub with guitars, drums, piano and slots for poetry, comedy and spoken word.
The Pig Open Mic Night is on at The Pig in Hastings this Thursday, 29 October, from 8pm to midnight. It's hosted by Justin Greenland and Daniel Hewson, and the stage is open to anyone who wants to play.
What makes it a bit easier than your average open mic is that the gear is already there. You don't have to lug your own kit across town; they provide a Tanglewood acoustic guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, two microphones and a piano. If you're just turning up with your voice or a few lyrics, you can plug in and go. If you're a guitarist, you've got a choice between acoustic and electric, and there's a piano on hand if that's more your speed.
It's not just for musicians, either. The night leaves room for poetry, comedy and spoken word, so it's as much about the mic as it is about the instruments. Whether you've got a few songs you've been working on, a bit of stand-up to test out, or some poetry you're ready to share, there's a slot for it. It's a good spot to get something in front of people without needing a full band or a proper stage setup.
