About This Open Mic
The Night
The Tipsy Owl, Pontypridd's first speakeasy-style cocktail bar, runs an acoustic open mic every other Thursday, 8pm-10pm, hosted by Kaysha Louvain and Kurt Jones. It's a cosy, welcoming events space with a top-quality PA, and each artist gets up to 15 minutes to play covers or originals. Entry is free; grab a slot in advance via the booking form on the TIWN Media site rather than just turning up.
