Open stage night for electronic and experimental musicians to play live at The Ferret, with a full live-music PA and a sound engineer.
Preston's Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) is back at The Ferret on Tuesday 29 December, from 7pm to 11pm. It's an open stage night for electronic and experimental musicians to play live, run as a supportive space for local artists to get on stage and experiment. The whole point is to give people a place to try playing live, so it's aimed at anyone who wants to get up there, not just established artists.
They welcome all forms of electronic and experimental music, and the range they list is broad: ambient, chiptune, drone, drum & bass, dub, electronica, electropop, experimental hip-hop, field recordings, glitch, house, industrial, looping, noise, soundscape, synthwave, techno, and trance. If you're working with any of those, you'll fit in. The night runs with a full live-music PA and a sound engineer on hand, and performer slots go up to 20 minutes. Some are pre-booked, and others are available on the door, so you can turn up and play if you've got something ready.

Between the sets, there's plenty of time to talk gear and production techniques, which is a good part of the night if you're into the technical side of things. It's as much about the community around the music as it is about the performances themselves. The Ferret is at 55 Fylde Road, Preston, PR1 2XQ, and entry is free. The night runs from 7pm to 11pm, with slots available on the door for anyone who wants to play.
