Jack and Will's Open Mic runs fortnightly at Gee's Bar inside the Royal Norfolk Hotel on Sandgate High Street, just along the coast from Folkestone. Hosted by Jack and Will, it brings together musicians and performers from across the local area for a free, walk-in session. A friendly seaside-pub open mic with a regular, community feel.
About Royal Norfolk Hotel
The Royal Norfolk Hotel sits on Sandgate High Street in Folkestone, and its Gee's Bar is a reliable spot on the local live-music circuit. There's an open mic on the third Wednesday of the month — Jack and Will's Open Mic also runs here, welcoming talent from across the area — plus live bands every weekend and regular solo and duo performers. A proper seafront-town pub backing grassroots music.
