I hope everyone’s coping well with the 36 degree heat that’s present as I’m writing this. Why not cool of this July with our ice cold lineup we have in store for you – every Monday at the Bull and Gate! This is our last lot of gigs before we take a break in August, then we’ll see you again in September so make sure you get for fix of Monday night jazz while you can!

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.
