About This Open Mic
The Night
Trillians is Newcastle's long-standing rock bar — a cellar tucked away in Princess Square, just opposite the city library — and it hosts a free acoustic open mic every Wednesday. It's an acoustic-leaning night in a venue better known for its rock, metal and punk shows, so expect a friendly, no-frills, music-first crowd. Bring your guitar and a couple of songs; turn up early on the night to get your name down.
