With up to five nights of superb quality, free, live music The Queen's has rapidly established itself as one of Wales' premier live music venues. It certainly can confidently lay claim to being one of the best FREE live music venues, with paid-for gigs at the pub being a rarity and even when there is a charge on the door it is rarely more than the price of a pint.
Follow the links below to our full gig guide and for details of the bands. 'The Archive' has write-ups and pictures from a lot of the gigs we have hosted here at The Queen's, most of them done by the team of music-lovers and photographers at our excellent town website, Town Crier.

As well as all the live music we have on at the pub, we like to think that we have one of the more ecclectic and rewarding collections of CDs behind the bar. We are not music snobs, but we like what we like and most of the time our customers like it too. So, if you aren't lucky enough to get to the pub for a gig, then you can rest assured that there wil be something refreshing and thought-provoking playing on the stereo.
You can contact us by email. Or, alternatively, pick up the phone and give us a call on 01600 712767. Thanks.
