About Black Boy

Black Boy is one of Swansea's open-mic venues on GigXchange — the kind of grass-roots room where new acts get their first stage time and the regulars shape the vibe of the night. Setup, signup process and crowd vary, so always cross-check the details panel above and arrive early if you want a slot.

Planning your Thursday night

Slot allocation is decided on the night, so turn up early to put your name down. Note: this is a 18+ venue.

It's a PA-and-vocal-mic setup, so bring your own instrument and a small amp if you need one. There's no drum kit or guitar amp on stage.
