About This Open Mic
The Night
The Oddfellows Arms is a friendly, music-forward pub on Manchester Road in Swinton/Clifton (Salford), billed as one of North Manchester's top live-music locals. Its open mic runs every other Monday, sitting alongside a busy weekly bill of live bands, Bandioke, karaoke and a LIVE Friday. The room knows how to put on solo artists, duos and full bands, so it's a confident, well-run spot to play — and they even offer accommodation if you've travelled.
