Any open mic events in the daytime?

Hi all, my seven-year old and I have been playing some covers (singing and guitar) and he would like to experience playing them infront of others. Problem is, most open mics are a bit late for a kid.

Know of any earlier opportunities in our fine city?

Not Norwich but Banham barrel used to do one on Thursdays at 5pm which was a young voices open mic. Not sure if they still do that.

The Banham Barrel is EXCEPTIONAL. The owners are an amazing family. They are so welcoming and children are very welcome. I highly reccommend this!!!

Has he considered busking?I've thought about it,nowadays its called being a street performer and I don't think he needs anything to do it(maybe a performers licence which used to be around £25 a year),just make sure you get up early to get a spot and be prepared to move if you have to,if he's too shy can go to any other nearby town and do it

Not sure why you are getting down-voted? It's not bad advice, but i think we'd only do like two songs so busking isn't much of an option in this instance.
