The Night
The Ford Inn is a traditional, music-loving local on Alexandra Road in Keyham, Plymouth, a short walk from Keyham Park. It runs a popular Tuesday open mic with a genuinely supportive crowd — both staff and regulars get behind the performers — and the pub is well plugged into Plymouth's grassroots music scene, with live local acts at the weekends too. Sign-up is on the night; just bring your instrument.
