Playing music in Geneva...[aka getting a gig]

Hey,

I've recently moved here to Geneva from Birmingham, where there's a quite good music scene, particularly with Open Mic nights and such. I used to try and get to one at least once a week and play a few songs.

I've so far been unsuccessful in my Google-fu at trying to find a similar thing in Geneva.
Does anyone else here play their own music and have found any good Open Mic nights or places to play perhaps a support slot for some local bands?

Thanks,

Tom

Go to the nearest good music store and ask there, they usually know, plus are often in bands, too. I'd start with a band if I were you, post a flyer at uni (unimail, bastions, etc.) looking for a band. I haven't found that many open mic events compared to what I am used to, but no reason to not do things.

I've been told that Contretemps puts an open mic show on weekly on a Sunday (I think).
