About This Open Mic
The Night
Murphy's Main Stage in Port Talbot is a proper live-music, sports and cocktails bar a couple of minutes' walk from the bus and railway stations, and it runs an acoustic open mic every Wednesday evening alongside its legendary jam nights on Wednesday and Sunday. There's a real stage with full backline — PA, drums, guitar and bass amps and mics — so you can plug straight in. It's busy most nights of the week and the crowd is warm and up for it. Free to play; just turn up.
About Murphy’s Main Stage
Murphy's Main Stage is a dedicated live-music, sports and cocktails bar a few minutes' walk from Port Talbot's bus and railway stations. As the name suggests, the room is built around a proper stage, and there's something on most nights of the week: the legendary jam nights run every Wednesday and Sunday, live bands take the Main Stage every Saturday, and top DJs spin Friday and Saturday until 2am, with karaoke and live sport filling out the calendar. It's a 200-capacity grassroots room that welcomes both covers acts and original local bands, making it one of Port Talbot's busier spots for working musicians and jam-night regulars alike.
