What to expect
Newcastle open-mic crowds are warm and loud-applauding — Geordie audiences want you to do well. Solo songwriters, duos and acoustic acts work best given the gear set-up; full bands should ask the host before turning up. The "Acoustic only" tag captures what regulars come back for week after week.
