Le Viet Sessions: Thursday Open Mic

Le Viet Sessions is back at Le Viet Social this Thursday 29 October, and it's an open mic night that runs every Thursday, so if you can't make this one, there's another one next week. It's run by Feedbacksessions, and the whole thing is built around acoustic performance and emerging talent. The open mic format means the night is shaped by whoever turns up to play, rather than a set list decided in advance.

That's the thing about an open mic: you're as likely to hear a seasoned performer testing out a new song as you are a first-timer stepping up for the first time. The night is billed as a welcoming space for both, and that's a good way to put it. It's not about a polished showcase; it's about people playing live in front of a room, and the acoustic focus keeps things stripped-back. If you've got something you've been working on, this is exactly the kind of night to bring it to.

Le Viet Social on Parliament Street is an independent Liverpool room known for its relaxed atmosphere, good food and community feel, and that fits the stripped-back side of the night. It's an intimate space, which works well for acoustic sets where you can actually hear what's being played. Between the music, there's food on the go, so you can make a proper evening of it rather than just popping in for a few songs.

If you're thinking of playing, it's an open mic, so you'll be sharing the night with whoever else signs up. If you're just coming to listen, you'll get a mix of voices and styles, all kept to that acoustic sound. It's on every Thursday at Le Viet Social, Parliament Street, Liverpool L1 0BS.
