Events In November

Sunday open mic night is back, with pianist and singer Robin Coward hosting. We're open at 6pm so you can get some Dutch Courage or indeed have a quick practice/soundcheck before the crowds arrive, with performances officially beginning from 8pm.

Dedicated to the love of great music (and great cocktails, of course) the night is probably Brighton's warmest and most nurturing open mic session; welcoming performers of all varieties: from pop-singalongs with karaoke backing, to acapella groups and spoken word poets; self-penned acoustic numbers, to tuba solos!

We're rigged up to play backing tracks or link your guitar to the PA, and (of course) you're welcome to make use of our baby grand; or simply come along and appreciate the range of talent on display!

The Benita Johnson Band (BJB) are back at their favourite Brighton basement venue! Be there from 9pm on Saturday 14th November to settle in for two dynamic sets from this electric foursome.

Playing original songs forged then re-forged by long-time singer-songwriter Benita Johnson “Her songwriting is top quality stuff” (David Kidman, NetRhythms Reviews), as well as selected (sometimes surprising) covers, their music resonates with audiences of all ages.

Listen out for interesting arrangements and delicious harmonies. The BJB’s first live demo EP “Wolves on the Inside” was released via Bandcamp this year and they opened Local & Live, Tunbridge Wells in August, demonstrating they're as at home on a big stage as the corner of your local pub.
