We warmly invite you to join us for Ruusu Open Mic 20.11. 17-20!

Warm-up performers this time are Pauli Pietilä and Inari Mykkänen.

After these performers, is the time for Open Mic as usual. You can sign up for Open Mic after warm-up performances. You are welcome to perform your text in any of your chosen language but we kindly ask you to keep it under 4 minutes, that all the willing performers have the opportunity to perform. It’s possible to connect your phone or guitar to the sound system if needed. At the end of the evening, glorious Ruusu
