sunDAY JAZZ
Every Sunday, or Bank Holiday Monday, we round off the weekend with live Jazz and Swing music played by the owners Noreen (Violin) and Adrian (Vocals & Guitar), who are joined by local guitarist Jez Cook. The music celebrates the legacy of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, swing legends such as Louis Armstrong, and the music of the 1920's & 1930's in addition to the swinging songs of the American songbook and some foot-tapping Western Swing! 7pm till 10pm. Free admission.
Traditional Irish Session
Every Friday evening (except when we have our monthly English Folk session) we hold a traditional Irish Music session from 8-12.
Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood
Helen Gentile & Lewis Wood (Threepenny Bit and Granny’s Attic respectively), perform an evocative set of tunes from the balfolk canon on clarinet and fiddle. The duo combines the talent of two musicians who are firmly embedded into the folk music community in England. Their material comprises traditional, contemporary and original European folk dance music, with loose, ever-evolving arrangements creating space for improvisation and showcasing the interplay between the instruments.
In 2024, Gentile and Wood released their first studio album, Violet Sky, produced by Tarren’s Alex Garden. Described by Songlines as ‘folk dance at its finest’, it was also nominated for Album of the Year by Bright Young Folk.
“The clarinet and fiddle interweave seamlessly and the playing is faultless” - Songlines
