Highlights
What's on Stage
The Clutha runs an open mic every Monday in Stockwell St, Glasgow, starting at 8pm with free entry for performers and audience. Known for open stage. It's one of Glasgow's regular weekly open-mic slots — listed across [public open-mic guides](https://www.glasgowwestend.co.uk/open-mic-nights-glasgow/).
Sign-up opens at 7:30pm on a walk-in basis (no advance booking). Slots run 15-15 minutes per act — typically 3 songs solo or 4 for a band. Full backline is set up: drum kit, guitar amp, bass amp, vocal mics, and an in-house sound engineer at the desk. Bring your own instrument and pedals.
Sign-up process
The sign-up sheet goes out at 7:30pm at the venue. Popular mondays 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
Glasgow has one of the UK's strongest open-mic ecosystems — crowds know their music and applaud the brave. Full bands are welcome and the backline is set up for it — most weeks see a mix of solo songwriters, duos and 4-piece bands. The "Open stage" tag captures what regulars come back for week after week.
