About the show

One of Britain’s most celebrated jazz musicians, Alan Barnes has thrilled audiences for over five decades. Equally fluent on alto, baritone and clarinet, he brings a night of masterful swing and bebop from one of the true greats.

Join us at Hove’s home for Wednesday night jazz. Nestled above The Wick Inn on Holland Road, The Speakeasy offers that classic ‘New York Supper Club’ vibe - perfect for a relaxed evening of live music, drinks and dining. With individual seating, shared tables and intimate alcoves, enjoy an extensive range of drinks and authentic Thai food while soaking up hard-swinging jazz from trumpeter Chris Coull and his Quartet, joined each week by a special guest.
