The Listening Room is an open mic that runs every Sunday at the Blue Blazer pub in Edinburgh. Unusually for an open mic, there is no mic. Nor are there amps, speakers, mixing desks or indeed any form of musical technogagetery whojummywatsits. The Listening Room is 100% acoustic.

It has a cool, friendly atmosphere where performers are asked to play original material for an attentive audience. It’s perfect for solo performers or small unplugged bands wanting to try out a new song or for people who want to come and relax and listen to some great original music.

The proceedings kick off at 8pm with an hour of open slots, a wee break, and a 45-minute set by a headline act. It's a very popular evening and of course it’s absolutely free.

You may even be lucky enough to win a treat in our famous raffle.
