Acoustic open-mic at The British Oak,
109 Old Dover Rd, London SE3 8SU,
Every Tuesday night from 8.30pm
Practical Stuff
WHO? WHERE? WHAT? We are an open mic club meeting every Tuesday at the British Oak pub in Old Dover Road, Blackheath. We are more of an acoustic than a pure folk club. Recent sessions have included virtually every musical genre.
TECH BIT We have a 300 watt Yamaha PA system with 2 mics and 4 other inputs. If more inputs are needed a Behringer mixer can be made available with prior notice. The space is relatively limited and a four-piece band is probably the optimum.
WANT TO PLAY? We operate a first come-first served system. There are 10 minutes/2 song slots. It is best to arrive by 8pm to avoid disappointment and ask for Lynne. We only have one rule we ask performers to respect: our excellent host, Peter, prefers people not to publicise gigs in other pubs, which seems fair enough to us.
Blackheath Folk Club is still going strong, over three years after the first session. The best place to find out what's happening at the club these days is: http://blackheathfolk.com.
