I 
started running Open Mic nights in 2002 around Melbourne when the Rochester Castle Hotel in Fitzroy had asked me to help them after hearing that I had been going to alot of inner and outer city Open Mic’s in order to get my confidence back up after an injury.
I ran the Rochester’s Tuesday night Open Mic for a year and a half and assisted the venue in booking the standout acts that passed through it. I then went on to run nights like this for Sagi Bar, All Nations Backpackers, Brunswick Hotel, Grandview Hotel, Whole Lotta Love, and Tago Mago which again I assisted with the venue with picking acts from these nights and booking them for a Wednesday or Sunday gig.
I then went on to run the Ascot Vale Hotel right up until Melbourne’s first lockdown at the start of 2021.
After coming out of COVID I ended up assisting more Regional Venues like the Leavers Hotel in Creswick with running an Open Mic night in 2023.
I am available to assist venues and artists to get their nights up off the ground with promotion, networking and the running of the night itself. Let’s bring the music back to life!
