Craft Sunday Sessions Open Mic

Brixton's got form with live music, and this monthly open mic taps into that. It runs the third Sunday of each month at 7pm, free to watch and play. Performers book 15-minute slots, which keeps the evening moving without dragging.

It's somewhere between a proper gig and a pub session, mostly working musicians testing material alongside first-timers. The craft beer venue gives it polish without pretence. After a few visits you'll know who the regulars are.
