About the event

Our much-loved resident jazz band returns following a run of sell-out Jazz nights in 2025.

From 7.30pm, settle in as live jazz fills the theatre bar with atmosphere — the perfect backdrop for a relaxed, sociable evening.


The bar will be flowing, including prosecco, beautifully made cocktails, and seriously fancy non-alcoholic drinks, making this a perfect night for dates, friends, or anyone who enjoys their evenings a little more refined.

This months special guest Craig Crofton Renowned for the “visceral excitement” and power of his playing, Craig has developed a distinctive sound that makes him a standout performer across a range of musical genres. A protégé of Marcus Printup (Lincoln Center Orchestra), Craig has forged a unique musical identity while collaborating with a diverse roster of acclaimed artists.

His credits include performances and recordings with Kasabian, The Haggis Horns, Nitin Sawhney, This Is The Kit, DJ Suv (Reprazent), Crazy P, Dreadsquad, and Dub From Atlantis. He also leads and performs with some of Bristol’s most vibrant bands, including Jazz Reggae Sessions, Baila La Cumbia, and Buena Bristol Social Club.

Craig’s career has also seen him share stages with jazz legends such as Wynton Marsalis, Maceo Parker, Toots and the Maytals, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jon Faddis, and Pee Wee Ellis. He has been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends and performed at iconic venues like Ronnie Scott’s in London and The Blue Note in New York City

You can also order freshly prepared 12" hand stretched thin crust pizzas on the night, perfect for sharing (or not), for you to enjoy alongside the music.
