You may bring an additional amp to accompany someone, and any setup time counts toward your slot. A cappella, comedy, and poetry are also invited, with spoken word sets running 8 minutes. The space is family friendly, so material should remain clean and respectful. Sign-up is available online or in person, and if you are not checked in 10 minutes before your turn, your spot may be reassigned. Short performance clips of about 30 seconds may be recorded and shared to the venue’s Facebook story unless you ask otherwise, and Nicky can send those videos on request. Thistle & Thorne is a tea bar offering beers, wines, more than 50 varieties of tea, soup, scones, and house-made clotted cream. For questions in advance, contact Nicky at nickysunflower222@gmail.com.
