PIP Open Mic

PIP Open Mic is back at O'Connor's On Warwick Street this Wednesday, 9 November, from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. It's a weekly night run by Blue Sky Music, and it's a relaunched open mic in what's billed as Worthing's only Irish bar.

The venue, the former Warwick, was refurbished in 2021 and keeps a live music schedule going every weekend, with DJs and bands playing everything from Irish classics to the latest party tunes, alongside charity open mics. The open mic itself is described as a welcoming room of live music under twinkling lights, and it's open to musicians, singers, songwriters and performers playing originals and covers. Each act gets about fifteen minutes, which works out to roughly four songs solo.

If you're thinking of playing, there's no need to pre-book: walk-in sign-up on the night does the trick, and the sign-up sheet opens from 19:30. The backline is sorted for you, with a PA system, guitar amp and keys provided on site, so you only need to bring your own instrument. If you're just coming to listen, entry is free.

O'Connor's is at 25 Warwick Street, Worthing BN11 3DQ, about a fifteen-minute walk from Worthing station. The night runs every Wednesday from 8:00pm to 10:00pm, with sign-up from 19:30.
