    Open Mic/Acoustic nights
    So I'm coming to UoE as a MA student in September and I'll be looking for open-mic nights to play at, and maybe some gigs too. I'm a folk singer/songwriter. Can anyone suggest anywhere?

    Thanks!

    Hey man. What sort of stuff do you play? I've googled it a bit and have found a few potential spots around Colchester.

    Sounds good man, do you do originals too? I just play my own folk music, influenced by anything from Nick Drake to Frank Turner.
