OK folks I’m back !! Big thanks to Mr C for keeping things ticking in my absence !!

This one is a little later going out than normal, so please pay attention to the cut off dates below. Roughly 2 1/2 weeks to sign up for Performers and 2 1/2 weeks post confirmation to prepare. And don’t forget the criteria peeps

:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Register now to be considered as a performer at the next JustinGuitar Community Open Mic.

Read on!

Where?
Online via Zoom.

When?
Saturday 17 May 2025 @ 19:00 UTC

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 and tag (using the @ symbol) @TheMadman_tobyjenner

Remember to state your location & UTC time zone.

Performer slots are not allocated on a first-come first-served basis but there is a deadline.

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.

The performer application window closes on or near to Wednesday 30 April (approximately three weeks before the show) 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:

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.

Thanks for your interest in the Community Open Mic. We look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome back, mon ami. We hardly missed ya! :winking_face_with_tongue:
After a complete Win11 reinstall, redownloading of Zoom etc., the gremlins seem to have retreated, and my sound is behaving itself once more.
I’d love to participate but will be at Henry Priestman’s 70th Birthday bash in Birkenhead that night. One of these days, I will be back… :laughing:

Hi Toby,

if I’m not blocking other people’s seats or I’m slowly becoming a plague :slight_smile: in those open mics recently, I’d like to perform something. Don’t know what yet, but it’d better be good :slight_smile:

good to hear!
Just looked up Henry Priestman and I guess you’ll have some music at his birthday party too!

I’m afraid we will miss this one. We will be in Nice, France without our guitars on that day. I know that we will get a lot of sympathy. :rofl: Enjoy, and we will catch up on the video when our travels are over.

Thanks for picking up again, Toby. I will be amongst those present, as likely as not assisting with the behind the scenes on the night in some form or fashion.
