The Gig Guide won't tell you everythi8ng you might want to know...

The Dalriada does quite a wide range of different kinds of music, in a great setting - large family-friendly pub on the beach (the bar is in a legally-separate room so children are allowed), but a long way from the city centre. The Royal Oak is at the opposite pole: central, tiny, cramped, and with musicians, tourists and terminal alcoholics all rubbing elbows. Other pubs are in between those extremes.

There may be something on at the Oxford Bar (the local frequented by Ian Rankin and his character Inspector Rebus) - ask, they're not very predictable.
