Common questions
Yes. Free to watch and free to play. There's no ticket and no entry fee. Just buy a drink and enjoy the night.
No. Turn up and put your name down on the night. Filling in the form just helps Olly plan the running order. It isn't a booking and it doesn't hold you a time.
Yes. There's a house guitar at every night, so you don't need to carry one across London.
No. Every one of our nights is live instruments only, at every venue. It's the one rule we don't bend.
Olly will back you on guitar while you sing. Send us the song at least three days before the night so he has time to learn it, and include a link and the key if you know it.
Bring at least two. Everyone gets a proper slot, and how long depends on how many people turn up on the night.
Mostly music: solo singers, guitarists, bands and duos. Poets, spoken word and comedy are all welcome too.
More than OK. A good part of the room is usually doing it for the first or second time, and it's a friendly crowd.
