Open Mic Nights

Perform at open mic nights across the city. It’s a great way to get noticed and meet fellow musicians. Become a regular at certain venues to build relationships with both the staff and other performers. Check out details at venues such as The North London Tavern, Spice of Life, Camden Eye, Hope & Anchor and many more!

New Music Events

Go to local gigs, open mics, and music festivals to meet other musicians, promoters, and industry professionals. Don’t just watch the performances—introduce yourself to the artists after their sets. Some new music events to check out are Jodie Bryant’s Discover Live, Fresh Blooms by Christian Sayers, New Music Monday at The Ned and our new music night Laid Bare at The Ritzy!

QR codes

Everywhere you go have a business card with a QR code to your linktree on it! That way if anyone about your music they can automatically access everything, this works at gigs, open mics, even just out and about, always worth having them on hand. The QR code will always be up to date as you can alter your linktree without changing the QR code.

Busking

There are designated busking areas all over London, busking with a QR code for people to find you, going live on TikTok or Instagram for your set and chatting to other buskers is a great way to meet more of the underground music scene in London.

Join groups like Music London on Meetup.com, which hosts events specifically for musicians to connect. Look for niche groups focused on your genre or instrument, where you can meet like-minded people.
