About the Pub
The Ailsa Tavern is light and airy with a friendly atmosphere and great food and drink available. Find out more details from the pub's own web site (link opposite).

When to find the Open Mic running 
We are running the night on the last Sunday of every month at the earlier than usual gig times of 7.30pm - 10pm; so that people can enjoy a fun night and still get home at a reasonable hour and be fresh for work on Monday morning!

October 30th
This was yet another great night! We had 12 performers (not including myself) with some more new (and young) faces with some incredible talent!
I noticed a lot of newly purchased guitars around (with pick-ups)!
