NotesThe acoustic-ish open mic at The Iron Horse in Sidcup is a thriving live music institution, built on mutual support and creative freedom, hosted by Tom Monks on fortnightly Mondays since 2014.

Sign-up for 7:30pm (be early as the board does fill up quickly!), and the music starts at 8pm. Two songs each, plug and play, and play and stay!

A stage piano and house guitar are available to use, plus live accompaniment if your voice is your instrument*. Keep setups quick, simple, and sonically suitable to help the night flow.

⛔️ backing tracks, drum kits, amps, stand-up, spoken word etc. aren't suitable, sorry! ⛔️

We're super proud to boast an enormous musical community of performers and spectators - but there's always room for new talent, so come and join us!

Any questions on how it works, please feel free to get in touch via http://www.tommonks.co.uk/contact - and you can also find up-to-date information about upcoming dates etc by searching for the 'Open Mic @ The Iron Horse' group on Facebook.

πŸ”ž Strict 18+ license, bring ID if you're lucky enough to look suspiciously youthful!

And please note that the songs 'Valerie' and 'Sweet Caroline' are strictly BANNED at this event. This is enforced!!

🎀 * If you're a standalone singer, we can offer live accompaniment of a 2000+ strong repertoire! If you'd like a copy, get in touch via http://www.tommonks.co.uk/contact and I'll get it to you. If you'd like to perform anything specific - or even an original song - please get in touch with plenty of notice and I'll learn what you fancy doing. Except Valerie or Sweet Caroline. The Iron Horse also offers weekly karaoke nights on Tuesdays from 7pm, if that's more your style!

🎸 If you're a standalone instrumentalist dependent on the hopes of being paired up with a vocalist etc., you're after a jam night rather than an open mic. And you're in luck - The Iron Horse holds a jam night too! The jam is hosted by M.T. Pockets on fortnightly Wednesdays (opposite weeks to the open mics) from 8:30pm, built on mixing and matching musicians and vocalists alike. Jam with the house band, with musical friends old and new, or even bring your own band - with a full amp and drum backline provided. And maybe you can meet a singing soulmate to form an act to storm the acoustic-ish do with or maybe more!
