About The General Havelock

The General Havelock is one of Hastings'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 Tuesday night

Slot allocation is decided on the night, so turn up early to put your name down.

Bring everything: PA, mics and instruments are not provided. Best for acoustic/unamplified acts unless you're hauling gear.

If Tuesday doesn't suit, browse the rest of the Hastings open-mic scene for other nights of the week, or check the UK directory for venues nearer to you. Once you've played a few, see our guide on how to land paid gigs as an independent UK artist.

What should you charge for paid gigs? Most open mic musicians are ready for paid work sooner than they think. Check live UK rates by role, city, and venue size.
