The Sunday night open stage follows a simple theme. It starts with a few songs played by our house band after which, one or all are replaced by visitors.

The house band is made up from a pool of top class local musicians available on the night and is supplemented by a host of other regular top class local talent during the course of the evening to make a fantastic foundation for any budding pop or rock star to join.
