King Cons on King Street runs its Sunday Sessions open mic for acoustic acts looking to showcase covers or originals. It's a relaxed, free walk-in night in one of Stirling's livelier city-centre bars, which also runs DJs, karaoke and quizzes through the week. A guitar and PA are provided, so you can turn up and play, though you're welcome to bring your own instruments.
