Liam: I regret to say that I can't answer your questions. I have only recently been able to get "out and about" so I'm not as familiar with the Fiddler's Dream as I hope to be. I attended a recent concert there performed by a friend, a fingerpicker and two excellent fingerpicker friends, but I haven't attended sessions in the smaller space, which is where I think the open mike night takes place. I do know it is a purist Folk hangout. No booze, coffe, tea and soft drinks. It's a fairly small venue but you will have an appreciative audience I know.
