*GIG ANNOUNCEMENT*
We’re chuffed to bits to announce that the legendary Edgar Jones will be performing a very special solo show in our upstairs venue on Friday 2nd October. 😮🥳🥳

Edgar 'Summertyme' Jones is a singer-songwriter and musician from Liverpool, initially known for his success with cult band The Stairs.
He has since enjoyed a 30-year, genre-defying, solo career and worked with the likes of Paul Weller, Ian McCulloch, The La’s, Johnny Marr, Ocean Colour Scene, Saint Etienne & Cherry Ghost.

“A Living legend. Edgar has spent over three decades making stunningly out-there records” – MOJO

“Rock’s lost golden boy. An aural history of the world’s coolest music. A true Liverpool hero” – NME

“Liverpool’s answer to Dr John” – Uncut

“A mesmerising, pigeonhole-defying, gumbo of beatnik, Jazz, R&B, doo-wop and Scouse Soul” – Record Collector

Our upstairs venue is limited capacity, with a mix of unreserved seating and standing.
