Edinburgh’s originals only songwriters open mic

Out of the Bedroom, Edinburgh’s longest running open mic night, will be taking over the open mic stage at The Meadows Festival in central Edinburgh on Saturday 1st June!

It is a FREE event and all are welcome. It will be our third year running the open mic and we hope to get the quality of weather, crowd and performers that we have had in the last two years.

Original music only, the live music will run from 11.45 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. You will have to be ready to sign up to play at one of the three specific signing-up slots: – 11.30 – 11.40 a.m. (Part 1)
1.15 – 1.25 p.m. (Part 2)
3.00 – 3.10 p.m. (Part 3)

There will be a PA with a house guitar, a house keyboard, four microphones and four DI boxes.

We hope to see you there. Bring the sunshine, if you can! 🌞
