  • 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 approximately one week prior to the event after which a final list of performers will be published and performers will be included in a private messaging to arrange further.

Please note - I have added 18 July as an alternative.

If more people are able to perform on that date we will switch it from the original 06 June.

:slight_smile:

No matter which date it will be, I at least will try to be in the audience. So please reserve a seat for me, Richard. :slight_smile:
