I host a variety of open mic nights at local pubs, creating a vibrant space where performers of all backgrounds can step up and share their talents with an appreciative crowd. These nights welcome everyone, from musicians and spoken word artists to comedians and storytellers, giving each performer a chance to showcase their skills and try something new. If you’ve been looking for a friendly, relaxed venue to perform, meet other creatives, and get inspired, our open mic nights are the perfect setting.
Every session is an open invitation to connect with a diverse group of artists and audiences. Whether it’s your first time on stage or you’re a seasoned performer, our open mic nights are all about celebrating the joy of live performance in a supportive, community-focused atmosphere. So grab your friends, sign up, and share in the energy of an unforgettable night filled with unique performances and local talent!

"Amanda kindly played at our wedding. She was so professional and put me at ease on the big (stressful) day. I had songs in mind that Amanda hadn't heard of but you would have no idea when it came to the day. Absolutely beautiful vocals and guitar. I would highly recommend to anyone."
Beckie Pethick-Weare - Wedding
"Amanda's Music Events......well what can I say. Over many years I have used Amanda for all of my Events. Not only is she a fantastic singer and guitarist she is very engaging, a crowd pleaser and makes sure everyone is involved in the evening. "
Jon Hubbard - Hubcap Promotions
"Just booking acts in for 2025, and thinking back to some great nights we had with Amanda's Music Events from Amanda solo acoustic, Amanda and Mark the keyboard wizard, Angel and the Bad Men or the fantastic open mic nights. Watch this space for 2025"

I run a number of jam nights across local pubs, creating a space where musicians of all backgrounds can come together, connect, and make music in a welcoming, relaxed environment. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, bring your instrument, your voice, or just yourself and join us to share in the joy of live, collaborative music. Each session is about exploring new sounds, meeting fellow music lovers, and building a community through creativity.
These jam nights are open to everyone, so come as you are—no experience required. From guitarists and drummers to vocalists and beyond, we welcome all to take part, experiment, and enjoy. So grab a friend, join us for the music, and experience the unique vibe of a night fueled by spontaneous creativity and shared passion.
