Hosted by Scott Channon in UWE’s Student Bar every third Thursday of the month is UWE’s Open Mic Night. Whether you are a musician, a comedian or a spoken word poet, the Open Mic Night is open to all. Enjoy a few cheap drinks, live music, and bring a few friends.

A welcoming and livingly crowd, ready to support and here your music. There is a sign up board next to the stage for anyone that would like to be involved, open to everyone.

The event is hosted and organised by Scott Channon, a musician himself.

Max Meadows is an indie rock musician. He sang two originals, as well as Oasis’ Don’t Look Back in Anger. A musician who brilliantly combines childlike wonder, and etherealness with an undertone of melancholy.
