Open Mic Night @ Róisín Dubh (Top Bar)

Open Mic Night

Sun 24th November, 2024 Doors: 8:00pm
@ Róisín Dubh (Top Bar)

The Róisin Dubh is proud to host Galway's finest Open Mic night every Sunday evening at 8pm.

Our ambition is to provide the perfect launchpad for the many musicians currently wandering the streets of Galway. We do our best to help with general set up and overall sound, as well as an in-house guitar.

Above all else, our primary focus has been to attempt to create a good atmosphere for people to come in and try out their ideas and to do so with encouragement. We believe this has been made possible by the truly fantastic crowds that have come in every Sunday over the past few years. Everyone is given attention, support and a chance to do their thing!

All musicians welcome - come in and join the open mic family!

If you wish to contact us we've found the best way is on Instagram at @openmicgalway

Open Mic F.A.Q.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Sign-up is at 8pm every Sunday in the smoking area of the Roisin Dubh. Get down early as the list fills up fast.
  • We have a right-handed acoustic guitar which all performers are welcome to use.
  • We have two microphones provided and our desk also has space for and extra 1x XLR lead and 2x ¼-inch (jack to jack) leads.
  • We only sign people up in person. Nothing online or over social media
  • 1 performer-1 song. If there is time towards the end of the night for people to do a second song, we will do this as they are listed on our sign-up sheet.
  • We do not have piano or other instruments but you are welcome to bring your own with a few exceptions that exceed our decibel limit i.e drumkit
  • One person/one name – Your friend can sign you up but cannot then sign up multiple names
  • The Róisin Dubh has a great history of stand-up comedy in their venue. Unfortunately we are a music orientated open mic.
  • If you are bringing a backing track, please do not have it on your phone as we cannot connect these to the desk.
  • The best way to get in touch with us is over instagram @openmicgalway. Keep in mind we cannot respond to every message as they are sometimes hidden in our message request folder.
  • If you have attended open mic and would like us to share your music online, please send a link to @openmicgalway on instagram
  • We love poetry
