Since 1954, the famous Troubadour Club has been a hotbed of emerging talent and a leading light in excellent musicianship and live music. From its early incarnation as a folk venue, and counter-culture den of creativity, The Troubadour Club has remained at the forefront of interesting, original music and spoken word events with a great reputation for originality and atmosphere. Although now twice its original size, The Troubadour Club remains true to its roots as the private cellar beneath the Café and is one of the most exciting small music venues in town.


We promote a varied music programme. Check the programme for what’s on, but rest assured that any night at The Troubadour is characterised by great atmosphere and musicianship of distinction. We look for performers of real talent, who write and perform their own material and can add their names to a roster of troubadours that includes Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello and more recently Adele, Jamie T, Jack Peñate, The Dead 60s, Paolo Nutini, Morcheeba… The list goes on and on.
