It's free and unticketed (though tips are welcomed). The building is wheelchair accessible, but the toilets are not. This is a queer and trans friendly event - everyone is welcome.

"Metaphorically Naked" - Acoustic Show. Mikey's Linktree 'After taking a couple years break from being in bands for 20+ years I decided to try something new. One guitar, one voice and plenty of old and new covers with a few cheeky originals thrown in. A night of crowd interaction with a few laughs and plenty of love. A big mixed bag of music that you can sing along to or just listen and chill. I call the act Metaphorically Naked because it’s basically myself broken right down to just myself and my guitar. So far it’s been such a blast for me and hopefully I’ll keep sharing the love for many years to come.'

"An Evening of Guitar". Perfect for a cocktail and chill.. Check out acoustic singer-songwriter here
