Events

Our New Years Eve entertainment:

OUTLIER are a fresh Jazz Fusion, Soul & Blues trio from the North West of England. Formed in the latter months of 2021, OUTLIER endeavour to not only bring the best in live performance, but strive to breathe new life into the North West music scene.

Born out of a love of Jazz & Soul music, coupled with a frustration of hearing the same contemporary pop, OUTLIER are not necessarily run-of-the-mill musicians... with live dates spanning across Lancashire, Yorkshire & Cumbria, expect to hear a mix of classic Jazz standards, reworked Blues & Soul, all coupled with a Fusion twist.

Tickets: £75 (includes entertainment, 3 courses from Zeffirellis evening menu and a glass of Prosecco at midnight)

Please call the office to book: 015394 33845

A jazz guitarist with classical credentials, as likely to play a nylon-strung acoustic instrument as a Gibson 335, John Bailey presents his band and a repertoire acknowledging heavyweights on both instruments – Holdsworth, Metheny and Gismonti for starters. John has spent a lot of time on the road in recent years with singer Russell Watson, so it’s with pleasure that we welcome him back to a venue somewhat more intimate than the ones he sees on that gig!
