It was our first time to a Jazz evening and we really enjoyed it. Awesome music, singer and musicians. We also really loved the timing of it. Perfect for an evening out where you can enjoy some lovely entertainment and have a meal or drink out afterwards. Perfect night!

Great night at the Jazz room. If you love trad jazz, this is the sort of event you need to look out for. Its not an intimate room though, its a standard theatre. That said, great acoustics

'St James Infirmary' rendition was especially enjoyable. As a person fortunate to have visited in New Orleans (on several occasions)....the band did the magical crescent city proud.
