FRIDAY NIGHT IS MUSIC NIGHT
Join us every Friday Night at 9pm (Bar open from 8pm) for a fantastic night of live music. Our bar is open until midnight with a delicious selection of cocktails plus wines, Welsh ales and ciders, lagers and a great range of spirits!
Every Friday is different – on the first Friday of every month it’s the Open Mic Night, and we welcome a host of local musicians to the stage.
Every other Friday could range from 50’s rock and roll to punk metal, from Ska bands to Classical Harpists, party bands to folk music.
We welcome all genres and always want to support new bands and musicians. If you would like to play at one of our Friday nights, please contact us.
OPEN MIC NIGHT
Join us on the first Friday of every month for our Open Mic Night. This is always a fantastic night of live music from talented local musicians, and frequently visitors from further afield.
Open Mic Nights have been running at the Magic Lantern since 2011, and many musicians have made their debut performances here, sometimes their own material and sometimes covering their favourite songs - acts from ages 8 to 80 years old.
Tickets are £3 or free if you have attended the film beforehand, if you’re a member, or if you’re performing.
We welcome all styles of music, folk to rock to jazz, with some fun pedals thrown in (we even had a psytrance DJ once) - either way you won't find a more appreciative and respectful audience.
If you are a performer who would like to play at the open mic it is essential to book a slot as we are frequently oversubscribed. This is a music night only, not spoken word or comedy and our only rule is that all vocal performers must be accompanied by live instruments (no backing tracks or acapella solos) Performers – Get in touch here to book a 15 min slot.
We encourage all newbies (and oldies) to share their music with us and keep the Lantern a hub for our fantastic local music scene.
