It pretty much does what it says on the tin - it allows you to find out about open mic nights being held in different areas. Martin has covered all of the angles so if you are thinking about attending one of the open mics listed on the site, you can travel assured that your time will not be wasted.
I've made it pretty clear to people over the last year or so that I think open mic nights are invaluable to performers hoping to develop their craft.
This tool could be especially useful for acts wanting to promote a gig in a new town in an old fashioned, personal way, instead of just spamming everyone on facebook.
From an audiences point of view, there is nothing better then fresh performers turning up to play at your local open mic night, often injecting a fresh take on things, and some much needed energy to the proceedings.
However, be warned, open mic nights often rely on tight knit communities of performers, regularly patting each other on the back after weekly poor performances. Respect, and the right to play, has to be earned.
So get out there and start earning it.
