Hydes Bar sits in Rowan Yard on Billingham Road in Norton, the leafy village end of Stockton-on-Tees. It is a smart neighbourhood bar with a loyal local crowd and a growing name for live music.
The open mic runs every Wednesday from 7.30pm, hosted by AJ, and is free and walk-in - the bar bills it as the best open mic night around, and the weekly turnout of singers and players backs the claim up. The night is also championed by the WeLoveNortonTS20 community page.
Expect a sociable, up-for-it room rather than a hushed listening space, with everything from acoustic originals to singalong covers.
