It welcomes jazz and blues talent from across the world every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night: food is served from 7pm, doors open at 7:30, the show runs 8:30 to 10:30 and the room closes at midnight. By day it doubles as a café serving coffee, sandwiches and hot meals above the underground clubroom.
