The Night
The Nag's Head on Mount Street is the long-standing home of the Wrexham Folk & Acoustic Club, which has run there for over fifteen years. On 'Singers' Nights' it's effectively an open mic: anyone can come along and perform, whether singing, playing an instrument or reciting poetry or prose, with a resident band kicking things off. It meets the first and third Thursdays of each month from October through to June (no first Thursday in January), starting at 8pm. Admission is free, with a raffle and a 'pass the hat' to fund the guest nights.
