The Wellington Calling Open Mic

WELLINGTON's premier event venue Whisky and Wood is hosting its second open mic event: Wellington Calling and we're looking for diverse acts to contribute!

Our inaugural event had 17 performers and over 60 attendees.

The open mic event takes place Sunday Nov 24 at 7PM.

Located in the heart of the city at 60 Cambridge terrace, Whisky and Wood exudes industrial elegance with New-York loft vibes featuring washed-brick walls, soaring high ceilings, skylights and a wooden bar area.

Each performer gets the chance to have a six- minute set with a microphone, guitar and keyboard provided.

This is an originals only event. We want to encourage new creative voices to be heard.

“We want to provide a positive and encouraging environment for established and fledgling acts to shine in. Its a pretty inspiring place to perform,” says host Steven Hood.

Each performer will need to sign up in person before 7pm and registrations of interest need to be emailed to openwandw@gmail.com before Nov 24.

The feature act for the second show is Carl Webley, who will be showcasing his impressive songwriting and guitar skills. His song "Hunter Gatherer" was a highlight of the inaugural show.

His music can be heard on the official Carl Webley website.

Entry is with Koha.

Light food and drinks will be available to purchase.
