The Foundry Music Venue, Bar & Kitchen sits on Bell Lane in the middle of Brecon and is the town's main room for live music. The programme mixes original band nights with tribute acts (Black Sabbath and ELO tributes among them) and themed evenings — mod nights, emo and pop-punk nights — alongside quizzes and paint-and-sip sessions. The venue's own listings carry a Weekly Open Mic / Jam Night on Thursdays, which is the easiest way in for a Powys performer wanting a first proper stage. There is a bar and kitchen on site, and the room is also let out for private hire.
