How the nights run. Of the 21 running nights, 14 are weekly and 7 run less often - check the date before you go. Most start between 19:00 and 20:00. Where a slot length is listed, it is usually 12 minutes. When a sign-up time is listed, the list tends to open around 19:30.

Who plays. Besides music, 1 takes spoken word, 1 takes poetry and 1 takes comedy. 15 list a PA, so a singer-songwriter can turn up with just an instrument. None lists an entry fee.

After the open mic. When you're ready for a paid set, the Hereford venue directory lists the rooms that book live music and the GX Index shows what they pay. Want to run one? How to start an open mic night.
