Up there with the UK's best Jazz clubs, brilliant music, relaxed atmosphere & an appreciative audience. One of Wakefield's must visits.
Wakefield Jazz is excellent. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere with an entertaining and varied weekly programme to suit all tastes. The venue has now been refurbished with the performance area now situated in the inner room space. The acoustics are just as good as before although there sightline issues in one area due to a structural pillar. The main entrance door is unchanged.
Best Jazz in the county if not the country. Friendly atmosphere. Good selection of drinks. Even food; if you book in advance ;and you can eat alongside the band. Well worth a visit Friday's at 8:30 or eat before 8pm.
Used to be one of the world's leading jazz clubs but now for whatever reason the musicians are more young.local and up and coming bands and not the top notch variety. Having said that there is a glimmer of hope with Liz Fletcher, Andy Panayi and Pigfoot - appearing there shortly - watch out for these three gigs
Fabulous night out again, thanks to Chris and the team. This is Yorkshire's premier jazz club. Ok it might not be what you expect in terms of venue, as it is the Hockey Club Bar, but that does mean cheaper drinks! I have not eaten there, so can't comment, but food is available. The reason this is a premier jazz club is down to the quality of the acts they book, which are usually of an international standard, every Friday in the season
