PIP Open Mic

PIP Open Mic is back at O'Connor's On Warwick Street every Wednesday from 8:00pm to 10:00pm, a newly relaunched weekly night run by Blue Sky Music. It's an open mic in the truest sense: singers, musicians, songwriters and cover artists take turns under the lights, while the rest of the room settles in with a drink. The format works as much for the performers as for the audience, with the night moving through a variety of acts rather than sticking to one style.

O'Connor's is the town's only Irish bar and one of its most atmospheric venues. The room was formerly the Warwick, refurbished in 2021, and it now programmes live music and DJs every weekend alongside its regular open mic nights. If you're planning to perform, the backline is sorted for you: there's a PA system, a guitar amp and keys provided, so you don't need to lug your own gear across town. Slots run for about 15 minutes per act, and sign-up opens from 19:30, so it's worth getting there early if you want a spot.

It's a strictly 18+ night, and entry is free, so you can drop in for a drink and listen without committing to a full ticket. The music runs from 8:00pm to 10:00pm, with sign-up from 19:30, at O'Connor's On Warwick Street, 25 Warwick Street, Worthing, BN11 3DQ.
