THE CHAPEL FM OPEN MIC NIGHT, LIVE!

We welcome new participants who want to perform music, spoken word, theatre, or other arts.

Check out the rules and what we can provide below.

In order to ensure everyone has a chance to perform, we request that acts don’t exceed 10 minutes.

Chapel FM is a community arts centre which encourages people from all backgrounds and age groups to enjoy what we have to offer.

As a result, it is likely that we will reserve some of the earlier performance slots for our younger performers. Therefore performance slots are not strictly allocated on a first come, first served basis.

In order to ensure that you have the opportunity to perform, please ensure that you arrive at the centre by 7pm on open mic night and give your name/details to the host.

We have a range of backline equipment and cables and will supply the following:

1 Marshall or Orange electric guitar amplifier

1 Fender bass guitar amplifier

1 Korg or Yamaha keyboard

1 (2 Channel) Stereo DI

2 microphones for singing, rap, poetry or spoken word

All necessary audio cables

Therefore, all you need to bring is your own instrument (except keyboards which will be supplied if required)

We ask that the instrument is tuned before performing as performers wasting time tuning does not play well on live radio.

We can support a maximum of two acoustic instruments, two electro-acoustic instruments, one electric guitar, one keyboard and two singers/poets during a single performance.

We also ask that each act is limited to two songs or a performance of no more than 10 minutes. Also, due to time restrictions, we cannot accommodate the use of a drum kit.

For karaoke performances, please provide your backing tracks on a USB memory stick as we will not be able to provide them for you.
