We hope to have ten to 12 performances a night. All entrants need to do is bring themselves and whatever musical instruments they need, we’ve all the equipment here,” explained Phil Byrne, owner of the Castle Inn.
“I’d love to see some singer/songwriters, rock bands, trad musicians, whoever. We want to give them a chance to sing live and show off their talent, whether it’s playing their own songs or covering classics,” he added.
