June ’26

Hello again. As I’m writing this in the 33 degree heat, I’m looking forward to cooling off with some of the cool jazz we have in store for you in June at the Bull and Gate.

See below for the full details of our listings this month and the links for purchasing tickets. We can’t wait to see you 🙂.

As usual, we’d like to extend a huge thank you for your continued support; we’d be nothing without our audiences, and the musicians really thrive when we manage to fill the room! So tell your friends and family, and share our posts far and wide to help us continue to bring our brand of high-level live creative music to our humble home above the Bull and Gate pub each and every Monday night.

P.S. WeGotTicket sales will show as “Sold Out” a couple of hours before doors open at 8pm but please still do come down as there will most likely be tickets available on the door.
