| Notes | The 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.
Come to the pub for 7:30pm to write your name on the board (be early as it 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 supporters - but there's always room for new talent. Just get there early to secure a slot, wait your turn whilst supporting and befriending your fellow musos, and soak up the applause! 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. 📍 Address: 122 Station Rd, Sidcup DA15 7AB 🚂 Nearest train station: Sidcup (opposite!) 🚌 Nearest bus routes: 51, 160, 229, 233, 269, 286, 492, Superloop SL3 🅿️ Free parking (shared with M&S) available thru Greenwood Close via Hurst Road. Register your number plate in the pub to avoid the 90-min shopper limit 🔞 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!! 🎤 * Solo vocalist? Amazing! We can offer live accompaniment, from a vast repertoire that's pretty much universally compatible. If you'd like a copy, get in touch - and if you'd like to perform anything specific, give me plenty of notice and I'll happily learn it if it's within my morals!! It's worth noting this isn't a "karaoke" type setup - it's all live, with a supportive crowd that appreciates the performers. If karaoke's specifically more your bag, there are plenty of great local options, but if you fancy this, you'll be right at home. 🎸 Instrumentalist hoping to be paired up on the night? You're after a jam night rather than an open mic - and you're in luck, The Iron Horse has one too! Hosted by Dan Murphy on fortnightly Wednesdays (opposite weeks to the open mics) from 8:30pm, it's built on playing with others. 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. Who knows - you might even meet a singing soulmate to form an act to bring back to the acoustic-ish stage, or maybe even beyond! |
