06 — About
Southgate, CrawleyAbout the night
A weekly Thursday open mic and jam session in the club room, running 8pm to 11pm. It grew out of Crawley Blues Club and leans towards a blues jam format rather than a strict signup and slots open mic, so expect to play with others rather than only solo. Entry fee, signup method and backline are not published.
