As lockdown was just beginning in the UK, we began a weekly live online Open MIc for all performers who would normally be out on a Saturday night. We thought it would be a way of still experiencing live music even when socially isolating. Ten weeks on and the event is still going strong with more performers than ever and a committed, supportive audience. Performers regularly include singer-songwriters and a variety of vocalists in addition to a rock ‘n roll DJ, a performance poet and musicians playing guitar and other strings such as banjo and ukulele. Our aim is to keep the community spirit of a live open mic very much alive until we can all return to pubs and clubs and enjoy our music together once again. New performers and live music lovers are always welcome. Join the Own Your Voice community on facebook or message us for more details. https://facebook.com/groups/ownyourvoice
