Jazz Sundays at Ollie Vee's
11th, 18th and 25th October - 2pm
11th, 18th and 25th October - 2pm
Jazz Sundays are continuing at Ollie Vee's, throughout October.
Owner Billie Littlechild has upgraded the external seating area to include more cover, and will be investing in outside heaters to ensure people are warm enough.
To ensure social distancing there will be a cap on audience numbers..
There will be no advance ticketing but we will be applying a music charge on the day with a suggested minimum donation of £10 per person, which will go directly to the musicians. You're welcome to contribute more, should you feel inclined. As you are probably aware, most musicians' livelihoods have been adversely impacted since lockdown began, with the cancellation of all live performances, so your generosity would be appreciated!
Payments will be accepted in cash only.
In order that the event can be managed efficiently you are invited to book in advance, with entrance guaranteed, providing you arrive on time. You're welcome to turn up before - Ollie Vee's will open at midday.
Please send us a message via our CONTACT PAGE if you'd like to reserve, with an indication of how many are likely to be in your party.
