The Tanners Arms, Horsham

If you like listening to good music in a cosy, friendly local pub, then this is the place. The whole pub is geared to play live music, with a PA system and speakers all set up permananently with lots of cool musical decor and different music events every week.

We are a new band who were looking for some where frinedly to play our first gigs and ventured down to the Wednesday Open Mic night. Many open mic nights you come across can be very cliquey and unwelcoming, this was the complete opposite and we were encouraged by all the regulars and Lyndsay and Chelle to come and play from our first visit, despite it being a mainly acoustic night. We finally played last week and went down really well and are now booked in to play the monthly live lounge night tomorrow. It is refreshing to find somewhere that is such a keen advocate of original music and both Lyndsay and Chelle could not have been more helpful and accomodating when it came to equipment problems and any other issues we had.

All in all a real welcoming and friendly pub, great locals and great live music. Looking forward to the gig tomorrow and having a few summer beers in this place!
