MMD is hosting another of its renowned Open Mic nights, which allows our members to share their work in a safe, relaxed and friendly environment. We encourage any MMD member to take to the stage and perform their pieces throughout the evening. Equally, members are free to bring a friend to perform the piece if preferred. Members have use of a piano, mics and please note, backing tracks can also be brought along to act as accompaniment.

To perform, please inform us that you are interested when registering for your ticket below. Places will go on a first come, first served basis. However, if you have presented material at the previous MMD Open Mic night in June, others will be prioritised on this occasion.

Our hosts for the evening are MMD members Amy Clare Tasker and Tom McGrath!

Doors Open 6:30pm, 7pm start.

Non members are encouraged to come along, but cannot perform.

We are looking forward to having the community together in the room and listening to what members are currently working on! If you have any questions before then please get in touch with kate@mercurymusicals.com
