About Us
Welcome to the LJMU Musicians and Singers Society! We are an inclusive and dynamic society designed for music enthusiasts of all kinds, whether you're a seasoned performer, a casual singer, or simply someone who loves to be around music. Our community celebrates every genre, style, and ability—there’s truly a place here for everyone. We regularly host open mic nights every Monday, where members can showcase their talents, discover new artists, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with friends. Beyond our weekly events, we also collaborate with other local universities and venues around Liverpool to organise gigs that spotlight original music and emerging talent from our members and the wider city music scene. Membership is completely free and open all year, making it easy to jump in whenever you’re ready to join our passionate musical family. Whether you want to perform, listen, or just hang out with like-minded creatives, you’ll find a supportive space with us.
Key Information
Our signature events are our weekly open mic nights, held every Monday, hosted by enthusiastic committee members who ensure a friendly, low-pressure environment for performers and audience alike. You don’t have to perform every week (or at all!)—just come along to meet other musicians, discover new talent, and soak up the musical vibes. We’re also expanding to new venues across Liverpool city centre, giving members a chance to explore the city’s thriving music scene. Throughout the academic year, we team up with other universities to put on larger gigs and showcases, providing our members with valuable opportunities to perform in professional venues and network with fellow musicians. Aside from musical performances, we organize socials and fun get-togethers designed to strengthen our community spirit, catering to as many tastes and preferences as possible. Plus, our members get free entry to Shindie on Thursdays—one of Liverpool’s iconic music venues—making it easy to experience live music regularly.

Whether you’re looking to find bandmates, collaborate on projects, or just unwind with friends in a creative space, our society offers all this and more. We pride ourselves on making everyone feel welcome and valued—so if you want to grow musically while forging friendships and enjoying Liverpool’s lively music scene, this is the society for you!
