How to get a gig
We no longer accept physical demos (CDs/ press packs etc.) so please don't send anything by post unless requested.
If we require further information or wish to discuss a booking we will be in touch. Due to the sheer volume of emails we receive, it is unfortunately not possible for us to respond personally to everyone who contacts us.
Thank you for your understanding.
Our Music Policy
Basically, we book music that we like! In general this tends to fit into the genres of Folk, Blues, Jazz, World, Country, Americana, Bluegrass and Singer-songwriters. We also choose acts that we know work well in our space. If you are a metal/rock/hip hop band, chances are your music isn’t right for Green Note. It’s nothing personal, but we tend to stick to music that we know and love.
Open mic
We run two monthly open mics – one evening and one matinée event. These are usually held on the last Tuesday (evening) and the third Sunday (afternoon) of the month (with a few exceptions – see events listings to confirm). If you’d like to perform at our open mic we’d love to see you, and we’re sure you’ll leave the night with new friends and contacts!
Performers do not need to pre-book a slot. Just turn up on the day! Slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so we recommend arriving early. Audience tickets are available in advance by booking online. On the night please arrive by 7.15pm (Tues evening open mic) and by 1.15pm (Sun matinee open mic) to book your place.
Entry is FREE for performers, and £3 in advance for audience members (pre-booking also recommended) or £6 on the door.
2 songs per artist. We have a full PA system and an in house keyboard but no backline, so bring whatever you need. Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate backing tracks.

If you're already booked to play
Note to drummers: Sticks are ALWAYS too loud at Green Note. Please make sure that you bring either hot rods or brushes to play with. Thanks.
