Cherry's Bar on Saville Street, right in Hull town centre, runs 'Cherrie's Acoustic' — a weekly open mic every Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm. It's an easygoing, daytime acoustic session: all are welcome and you just turn up if you fancy getting involved, no booking needed. A nice low-pressure slot for songwriters and acoustic players who'd rather not face a late-night crowd. Free to come along and play.
About Cherry's Bar
Cherry's Bar is a town-centre bar and event venue at 19 Savile Street, Hull (HU1 3EF). It runs a relaxed weekly open mic called 'Cherrie's Acoustic' every Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 7pm — free to perform and free to watch, with all welcome to just turn up and put their name down. It's an afternoon session, so the vibe is easygoing — a mix of working musicians, friends and locals. A PA and at least one vocal mic are provided; bring your own instrument, amp and pedals. Solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts work best given the set-up; full bands should ask the host first. The bar also hosts other live music and events through the week.
Planning Your Sunday Night
Arrive by 15:30 to sign up for a slot. Entry is free and the open mic typically runs until 19:00. A PA is provided — bring your own instrument and amp.
