About This Open Mic
The Night
The Anchor at the Abbey is a lovingly restored landmark Paisley pub on Gauze Street, directly across from Paisley Abbey, serving good food and a strong drinks list in a relaxed setting. Its open mic falls on the last Tuesday of each month, hosted by Andy Lindsay — a long-standing favourite with local musicians and regulars alike. Entry is free; it's a friendly, music-led night rather than a big stage production.
