About This Open Mic
The Night

Sign-up opens at 7:30pm on a walk-in basis (no advance booking). Slots run 10-15 minutes per act — typically 3 songs solo or 4 for a band. PA and at least one vocal mic provided. Bring your own instrument, amp and any pedals.
Sign-up process
The sign-up sheet goes out at 7:30pm at the venue. Popular wednesdays fill within 30-60 minutes — arrive early if you want a guaranteed slot. There is no advance booking, no online sign-up, no email list — strictly walk-in.
What to expect
Birmingham's open-mic circuit covers Boldmere, Kings Heath and the city centre — crowd composition shifts by area. Solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts work best given the gear set-up; full bands should ask the host before turning up. The "Boldmix" tag captures what regulars come back for week after week.
About The Boldmere Tap
The Boldmere Tap is a traditional, dog-friendly community pub at 363 Boldmere Road, Boldmere, in The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield (B73 5HE, West Midlands) — real ales, craft beer and a strong local following. Its signature performer night is the #Boldmix acoustic open mic every Wednesday, 8:30pm–10:30pm — a friendly, supportive acoustic session that's a fixture on the Sutton Coldfield / north-Birmingham open-mic circuit. A PA and vocal mic are provided; it's an acoustic/singer-songwriter room, so solo acts and duos suit it best (full bands should check with the host first). Sign up on the night or contact the organiser in advance. Confirmed open and running the weekly mic into 2026 (FireMics, Open Mic Finder, venue Facebook).
