Small Stage Sessions is Bond Street Event Centre’s new Open Mic Night for musicians, poets and short filmmakers.

These open mic nights offer up-and-coming performers the opportunity to test their skills on a receptive crowd of like-minded creatives. In order to offer each performer adequate stage time, the format for musical acts will be solos, duos or trios only performing 15-minute sets (drum kits not permitted) and the Centre will be providing PA equipment and a sound technician. Filmmakers who would like to showcase their creations will be given a 10-minute screening and are asked to bring a copy of their film to the venue by 6:20pm on the night. Poets will also be given a 10-minute set to perform their written works.

To secure a spot in the open mic night a blackboard will be placed at the front of the stage and performers will be allocated a set time on a first-in-first-on basis.

The next Small Stage Sessions will be held at 7:00pm on Friday 2nd June 2023. If you are interested in local musicians, poets and filmmakers please come along and be a part of an encouraging and supportive audience – note this particular event is for ages 16+ and minors must be accompanied by a guardian. The bar will be open and a light supper will be provided. Entry is $10 at the door and goes towards the continued running of these events.

Bond Street Event Centre is a social enterprise with a mission to contribute to the development of a fair, creative, just, informed, rational and enlightened community. If you have any questions about the running of the open mic nights, please contact David at the Centre on 5182 8770.
