The Essex Arms is a characterful Brentwood pub on Warley Hill where local charm meets a strong live-music line-up, with karaoke, open mic nights and a private function room. Its open mic is run with local station Phoenix FM, using two Shure SM58 mics and a sound desk most instruments can plug straight into, and sets are recorded for possible play on Phoenix 98FM's Sunday Sessions. With a courtyard beer garden and the SX Bar function space, it's a welcoming spot for performers.
