Calling all Irish trad musicians, dancers, story tellers and the gathered masses…

The Irish Music and Dance Association and the Great Northern Irish Pipers Club present ——> Open Mic Night at the Celtic Junction!

After the great turn-out and success of the April Open Mic Fund-raising event for the GNIPC, we decided it would be great to have a non-fundraiser Open Mic Night on a semi-regular basis, as a way to provide the opportunity to local performers to show off their skills!  GNIPC has teamed up with the IMDA to make this happen.

Never played on stage before? Got a new piece you’ve worked up and Want to try out? Here’s your chance before a sympathetic crowd!  Come show your support for our wonderfully talented local celticmusicians and dancers and bring your instruments/voices/dancing shoes/what have you.

It is five bucks to get in the door. We may be selling light beverages and some snacky type stuff, but if you want anything else, you should bring your own.

Walk-ups are welcome but we highly recommend you to sign up early, contact Patrick Cole . You can also sign up with Pat McCormick.
