Music  Is there Music?  Yes there is music!  Gentle, unamplified folk music.  Be prepared to listen and engage with us.

Step into the  historic and atmospheric Captain's bar, where local folk musicians meet, seated in the bar, for tunes and songs. Join us to enjoy the truly original and intimate experience of being close to singers and musicians who are unamplified and authentically telling their story. Contemporary and traditional songs are encouraged and visiting musicians are welcomed. Captain's is steeped in history and has been a bar for almost two hundred years. Please do visit.
