PIP Open Mic

PIP Open Mic is a new weekly night at O'Connor's On Warwick Street, Worthing's only Irish bar. It's run by Blue Sky Music and works on a walk-in basis rather than pre-booked slots: you turn up, sign up on the night, and play for around fifteen minutes — roughly four songs solo — before moving to the reserve list. The stage is open to musicians, singers, songwriters and performers playing originals and covers alike, and the backline includes a PA system, guitar amp and keys. The night often ends with as many musicians on stage as possible.

O'Connor's sits at 25 Warwick Street, the former Warwick, refurbished in 2021 on the pedestrianised street in the heart of town. It's one of the town's most atmospheric venues, with twinkling lights and a welcoming crowd. Beyond the open mic, the bar stages charity open mics and hosts live music and DJs every weekend, from foot-stomping Irish classics to the latest party tunes.

PIP Open Mic runs from 8:00pm to 10:00pm on Monday 2 November, with free entry.
