Hello folks … :grinning_face:

Registration is open to add your name to the list of performers at the next JustinGuitar Community Open Mic #36.

__

When?
Saturday 31 January 2025 @ 19:00 UTC

NOTE

Please ensure you fully meet the JGC OM Performer Criteria for Open Mics, as detailed in this Call For Interest (CFI) and in the links below. Performer slots are available according to the following criteria.

  • We ask that performers be actively engaged members who embody the positive and supportive pay-it-forward ethos we have long nurtured within the Community.
  • We ask that performers have made an Introductory topic, ideally including some information about their learning path with JustinGuitar.
  • We ask that performers have shared recent audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section.*
  • We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member or performer.

Performers

  • There are, nominally, up to 15 performer slots available with an opportunity to play 1 or 2 songs. The number may be expanded if needed. Please reply stating your wish to be considered for a slot.
  • Please state your location & UTC time zone - helpful when planning the order for performers.
  • Performer slots are not allocated on a first-come first-served basis but there is a deadline.
  • The performer application window closes on or near to Monday 19th January after which a final list of performers will be published and performers will be included in a private messaging to arrange further.

Audience registration

Oh, seems it will be a duets only evening? :slight_smile:
I’d probably have to find someone to play with me then… My wife?

I’ll have to rethink and talk to my spouse. It’s our wedding anniversary (no important number) but I’ll be coming late from work anyway and be too tired to go out to a restaurant. Playing some guitar might work though :grinning_face:
