Women’s Open Mic update 🎤
We’ve had a beautiful response and the performance list for this evening is full to the brim with amazing acts! 💫

We’ll still leave a couple of very limited open mic slots available for sign-up on the night—but please know that space is very tight and we may not be able to fit everyone in.

Thank you for helping make this a warm, inclusive space. 💜

I hope you’re looking forward to Women’s Open Mic – only a couple of days away now! :D

🍏I wanted to extend a little invitation: if you feel like it, you’re very welcome to bring something along for the snack table. There’s absolutely no pressure, but it would be a lovely way to add to the welcoming, community feel of the evening. 🥤

🧃 I’ll be bringing soft drinks and a few snacks to get us started, and thought it might be nice to open up the table to the rest of the group too — sweet or savoury, homemade or shop-bought, anything you fancy (and of course, totally fine to come empty-handed too!).

🧁If you do bring something, it would be really helpful if you can include a note with the ingredients (especially for homemade items), so we can support people with allergies or dietary needs.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Stories Through Songs is a 5-session course designed to be for all levels, teaching you the about telling stories through song through a series of different methods for sparking creative ideas and telling your own stories, as well as how to utilise rhythm and melody, in the open and welcoming community space located at the Vaccination & Wellbeing Hub, Bon Accord Centre.

There is no experience necessary to take part. We’ve got a loan of a ‘Cube of Perpetual Light’ – a cube with grow lights – which will be in the workshop space with us and will provide one of the stimuli for writing, through songwriting prompts and exercises.

You’ll learn to write a song without needing to read or write music, and you’ll learn about creating melodies and lyrics.

Please double check that you can commit to the full 5 weeks before registering.

To sign up, simply take 5-minutes to fill out the form. Spaces are limited so register now to avoid disappointment. If you do not get a space this time, we'll put you on our waiting list in case we can run more of these courses in future.
