An evening of original live music comes to Lucas Bar,
bringing together 2 singer-songwriters and one band for a night of shared songs, stories, and connection.
Set in the intimate back bar of Lucas pub, this gathering celebrates local voices and community creativity — a place where artists and listeners meet, from stripped-back solo performances to a full-band close.
Each act brings their own sound, mood, and story, contributing to a night built on collaboration and support.
Bring your partner or find one on the night lol!
