06 — About
Kingston, LondonAbout the night
Ram Jam Records is a back-alley speakeasy tucked behind the Grey Horse pub on Richmond Road, a two-minute walk from Kingston station, and its Wednesday open mic - listed by the venue as one of the 'Top Open Mics in London' - has been voted one of the best in South London. It runs every Wednesday from 7pm to midnight, with a jam carrying on after the open mic, and the venue's own calendar has it booked straight through August and September 2026 (26 Aug, 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30 Sep).
Sign-up and slots
Sign up in person from 6pm via a raffle: numbers are read out just after 6pm and you pick your slot from the timesheet, so the high-demand spots are allocated fairly. Artists normally play one to three songs and comedians get up to five minutes - solo acts, bands, comedians and magicians are all welcome, and there are drinks deals every week. Nervous first-timers can email info@ramjamrecords.co.uk ahead of the night and the staff will look out for you.
Backline
There's a proper backline waiting - guitar amps, a bass amp, a piano and a drum kit - so full bands and solo acts alike can just plug in and play.
