Please note we have made some changes for 2024, so read on but read on carefully.
Where?
Online via Zoom.
When?
Open Mic 21 - Saturday, 20th January 2024 @ 1900 UTC
Audience registration
Getting a seat in the audience is simple. Just reply to this thread stating your wish to attend. The Zoom link will be distributed one week before the event.
Performers
There are fifteen performer slots available with an opportunity to play one or two songs. Please state your wish to be considered for a slot in a reply to this topic. Remember to state your location & UTC time zone.
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 audio-video of their playing in the Community Recordings section, recorded since becoming a Community member.*
We ask that performers have previously attended Open Mics as an audience member.
The performer application window closes approximately 4 weeks before the show (25th December) after which a final list of performers will be published. If the number of potential performers exceeds our limit we may need to disappoint some people - although regular performers often express their willingness to step aside and allow newer performers their chance. We do try to give all who express an interest the opportunity to perform.

Some helpful links, especially for performers:
The way things are going Iâm not sure how Iâll be going with guitar over the next few weeks. So I donât want to request a performer slot and withdraw in the days before, feels like I am taking advantage of being a performer from the outset and an active member.
Imho , I donât think anyone would be having those thoughts David, but respect whatever decision you see fit .
It goes without saying that having you perform is a huge positive to the event, as is your backroom support.
Think on the positive shipmate, sign-up. Come the week of the event you feel youâre not up to it, then simply withdraw.
You wonât be denying anyone a place, and you will have given your best looking forward to playing a song for us.
Just me " two-penny" worth âŚ
Hi Toby can you put me down for an audience spot please? I canât believe I missed last nightâs OM, how I never saw it advertised is baffling!
UK time zone
Roger if Audience folk want to add the UTC its great and not an issue if they do. We are trying to make it easier for them. Life changes, the world changes, everything changes.
I donât have you down as a previous JGC OM audience member (Justinâs gigs are separate as we keep no record of the audience for the âLivestreamsâ). So you can book a seat for this one and be eligible for the next one. Sorry
Ah, câmon Toby- Paul has shared multiple Avoyps, is a positive contributor to other folks posts and attended an OM (even if under a different âlabelâ)
The only point of these ârulesâ is to encourage regulars and deter the fly-by-night Look-at-mes.
Other far less interactive/committed members have participated.
