About this event
From the gambling dens of pre-revolution Havana, where the sweet smell of cigars hung thick in the air and the aged rum flowed, The Sugar Kings Cuban Trio present their repertoire of son Cubano, vintage mambo and cha cha cha. Featuring Flavio Correa on percussion & vocals, Elpidio Caicedo on baby bass & vocals and Daniel Carnago Cuban on tres guitar & vocals. COVER CHARGE: £6 Free Thursday Throwdown set w ith Loredana Fantini & Alberto Manuzzi from 23:30 - 1:15 Each Thursday after 11pm, we’re switching it up at Nightjar. Firstly there will be a free, late set of live music from 11.30 pm. But, better than that, thanks to Don Julio , we’re going to drink like it’s 2010! Our special late-night menu is a nod to the days (and prices!) of when Nightjar first opened, fifteen years ago.

King, Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Nina Simone, Big Mama Thornton, and more. Her unique blend of traditional blues infused with a contemporary twist creates an unforgettable, soul-stirring experience for her audience. She believes in the power of blues to touch hearts and elevate the energy.
