Open mic at The Nailbox

From 8pm until 10pm at The Nailbox, close to Folkestone West station, Mark from Chasing Mavericks is hosting the Nailbox open mic night. This is a live event and we can’t accommodate backing tracks, but we do have PA with 2 mics, a keyboard and plenty of instrument inputs for your guitars/ukes/own mics! Come along early to register a spot. We generally have 3 songs per turn, which often means we can give performers a second go.
