Local musician Adam Sylvester is live at the new time of 7pm, playing rock and indie favourites from the โ€™70s right through to the โ€™00s. ๐Ÿค˜

๐ŸŽธ Just Adam, his guitar and his voice. No backing tracks, no gimmicks. Raw, live music exactly how it should be.

๐Ÿฅ Heโ€™s a mean drummer tooโ€ฆ but tonight, the sticks are staying out of reach. Itโ€™s all about the strings.
