If you are interested in joining our Community Open Mic events - as performer or audience member - these are the draft dates we have outlined for the coming year.
These are draft and may be subject to change - with plenty of notice should that eventuality arise.
Can you please take a look to see if we have chosen any date that clashes with a big national event in your country that might impact on performer and audience numbers?
Many thanks.

Great idea to publish possible dates as it gives those of us that have commitments on Saturdays to plan ahead.
Might be also be helpful mid year to publish dates for first half of the following year. Just a thought.

Thanks Richard, a big help to planning, and I completely understand the dates are STC.
I really appreciate the effort nonetheless, thanks … 
Thanks for this Richard! Very helpful. You may not know yet, but do you anticipate there being any start time fluctuations with these?
Thanks again for putting this together.
I am interested in attending as many as possible. Do you have a time listed for each of them and where I might find the time listed? Thanks in advance

Start times are usually 7pm UTC time.
We ran a Saturday 9am UTC time recently and may throw another of those in somewhere.
We have not yet gone the other way to davour Saturday evening in the Americas but are open to the idea Im sure.

Thought the start was actuallu 1900 UTC, so although 1900 ukt now, it will be 2000 ukt after the clock changes. But the UTC time renains consistent.
[Mod edit - Toby is correct … post above now edited]

Can somebody help me sign up for aug 9?
Hi Leah and thanks for showing interest.
First off I would like to guide to the overall “rules” governing OM applications HERE
but JGC OM32 on August 9th will be a one off (possibly) first time (definitely) FIRST TIMERS ONLY, so we may be a little flexible with the criteria.
I gave a heads up on that event a few weeks back, so it may interest you to read the post First Timers Only
There will be a Call For Interest issued for the First Timer Only gig likely sometime next week, by one of my esteemed OM Steering Group Colleagues and will look something like this JGC OM 31 CFI but not closed like this one, as we aint opened it yet.
Why not drop into the show on Saturday and see what it is all about. Just ask for an audience seat in the last link above. I can’t guarantee a comfy chair, that will be down to you but I can offer a unique experience not found anywhere else online.
Hope that helps.

Actually it’s rory, my mom made the account,
Sorry, I thought it was all levels welcome
It is all levels. Nothing in the criteria that stipulates a level. Only a posted intro, audience attendance at a previous OM, posted a recording of their playing in the community and an engaged community member. As you have just joined us you have many things to accomplish (as do some of our regulars !!) before an OM but your playing level is not one of them, Welcome on board.
