Jazz and more this Saturday

Kicking off a month of fabulous events at The Swan we are thrilled to have the wonderful Alison David joining us for an evening of jazz, blues, soul – wherever her extensive repertoire decides to take us.

A striking six feet tall, with model and film star looks, Alison David commands attention with an enchanting, magical, stage presence. She has had an extensive recording career, signed to Polygram, Sony BMG and Mercury Records and championed by such artists as Colin Firth, Pete Townshend, Dave Stewart and Niall Rogers (Chic).

Weekends in October

What a month we have lined up for you!
Autumn is upon us and we’re all starting to get back into the swing of things with jumpers, quilts and fireside noggin (well, I know I am). To tempt you from your nests we have a fabulous season of evenings planned. So slip on your mufflers, meet up with chums and neighbours and have a relaxed evening or two with a decent libation and maybe a delicious bite from Georgia’s new menu.

October’s calendar goes something like this:

Saturday & Sunday 6th & 7th – closed. We’re taking the weekend to re-charge and regroup ready for Autumn.

Saturday 13th – Jazz and more with Alison David
A striking six feet tall, with model and film star looks, Alison commands attention with an enchanting, magical, stage presence as she takes us on an evening of jazz, blues, soul – wherever her extensive repertoire decides go.

Saturday 20th – Opera with Sharon Elizabeth.
Her emotive, passionate performances, natural bright personality and beautiful soaring vocal ability have led her to be called “The People’s Soprano.”

Saturday 27th – The Speakeasy Three.
Blending golden-age sounds with silver-screen style The Speakeasy Three roll out their show-stopping, room-swinging, after dark agenda for your delight.

All of these evenings have no cover charge so it’s always wise to call and reserve your seat or table.
See our diary page for more about each event, plus those in months to come.

Closed tonight (Weds 26th)

Apologies for the short notice but The Swan will not be open this evening, Wednesday September 26th.

Chris has come down with a seasonal lurgy so he’s been banned from fraternizing. Hopefully all will be well ready for tomorrow evening.

Sorry we can’t entertain you tonight but why not take advantage: stay tucked up in the warm, order a take-away and keep lurgy free.
