A huge thank you to everyone who’s come along to our Original Music Open Mic nights, hosted by Nath & Ryan 🖤
We’ve hosted 52 nights this year, not missing a single week, and every Monday we’ve been able to give local artists a platform to share their own music. That’s something really special.
We know we get lots of messages asking about covers, but this night is proudly originals only 🎶
We want the grassroots stuff, the unpolished, the raw, the songs still finding their shape. The late-night lyrics, half-finished ideas, brave first performances, and everything in between. It’s about embracing the process, not perfection.
One of our favourite things is seeing different artists hopping on with each other every week, jamming, collaborating, building friendships and lifting each other up. The atmosphere is always so positive, welcoming and encouraging, and that’s down to all of you.
Big love to The Hill Brothers for hosting and driving forward this initiative. If you’ve been along, please do drop them a vote in the Portsmouth Music Awards as nominations close really soon 🙏
