Sunday night is music night at The Foundry and this week we have a live jazz band to get you swinging. Max & The Swing Commanders are due to start at 8:00 but do feel free to come along early to grab a seat and take advantage of our Happy Hour!
We know how it is, the crackers have all been pulled, the last mince pie's been eaten and that turkey's looking decidedly dodgy.
Just a quick one to update you on
forthcoming music nights at The Foundry. We're aiming to make every Sunday
night music night and here are the next three dates to put in your diary:
30th November
7th December
14th December
be there or be square...
Who'd have thought it? One year old this week! To commemorate this auspicious occasion we are holding a party to celebrate with friends and customers, old and new, this Sunday (21st September) at 8pm. There will be live Gypsy Jazz, fun and possibly games...
After our last bulletin, it seemed everyone enjoyed the benevolent invasion of Foundry Street by the Brighton Morris Men. Even the most determined sceptics seemed to be won over by their inimitable singing and dancing as the pictures on our Foundry Facebook group testify. Although apologies to anyone who turned up the next day hoping for a pint of Harveys! Evidently being a Morris man is thirsty work....
Moving on to our latest musical extravaganza, this Sunday we have the pleasure of welcoming back the Samuel Arts Gypsy Jazz Quartet. Playing jazz in the style of the late great Django Reinhardt, incorporating fiddles, sax, double bass and guitars, anyone who caught their Brighton Fringe Festival performance can attest to their hep-cat style. Entrance, as ever, is free and the performance begins at 8:00pm
.....nice
We're aiming to keep friends and customers, old and new, updated with the latest offers and events at The Foundry. It is with some surprise however, that the first event that we have to tell you about is morris dancing! Yes, The Brighton Morris Men have decided to descend on The Foundry on Thursday 3rd of July at 9pm to provide us with their own unique brand of entertainment, followed perhaps, by some traditional English folk singing. They aim to, and i quote, "entertain, excite, and raise the female hormonal levels to an exceptionally receptive level", come and see if they manage.....
