The Low Lights Tavern is the oldest traditional pub in North Shields, sat on Brewhouse Bank by the historic Fish Quay. It's a genuine grassroots music institution: Monday hosts one of the country's longest-running buskers' nights with host Bongo Bob, Thursday is an acoustic night, and Saturdays bring regular performers, with Irish, Northumbrian and Scottish folk the house favourites and organised gigs from bands like The Black Corner Band several times a month.
