On top of running one of the most successful open mics in the area, organising a music festival and being one of the most consistently supportive figures in the local scene, Chris Burness has also somehow in the last year managed to write an 11 track album.

With so many open mics happening every day in Suffolk, you may have a overlooked a slightly more secretive music scene happening behind closed doors...The Online Open Mic.

Often described as a seasoned traveller, an outlaw and a part-time pirate, James Morgan has tended to steer away from writing love songs. However with the release of his new single, it seems he may have set sail in a different direction.

Visit any open mic night or music venue in Suffolk and it is highely likely that Ash Carr has played there. Ash is a prolific performer and when he's not performing, he is writing his own music. Luckily for us, there's a lot of new material on the way.
