Stray's 'Live' Lounge...

...Friday Nights from 6:30pm

Stray’s Live Lounge is the perfect way to relax, unwind and start your weekend…

‘Live’ lounge on Friday nights at our Newark store (except 1st of the month) sees various duos and trios, providing live jazz, blues, funk and more, creating a slightly more laid back vibe than our ticketed jazz gigs. Enjoy our house band P.R.S. performing their own, edgy versions of jazz, funk, pop and blues, as well as other great outfits including Elliot Lewis, Hubtone Disco, Rachael Johnson and more…

HOW IT WORKS

  • Doors open at 6:30pm and we serve drinks until 11:00pm. Our Tapas menu is available from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
  • We have a mix of soft, comfy sofas/chairs with low tables and more formal seating areas. Please let us know if you prefer to dine formally and we’ll do our best to allocate your table accordingly
  • Live music starts at 8:00pm. There are a few band-side seats, so if you want to watch the performance, we recommend you get in early!
  • These events do not require booking.

P.R.S. is Simon Potts (drums), Steve Rodda (guitar) and Stray’s own Mat Short (bass). Mat & Steve originally played on Sundays at the Newark store as part of a guitar trio. Mat met Si as part of playing with the superb Groove Merchants, led by our good friend departed, guitarist Chris Green.

Si Potts joined Mat & Steve for a date back in 2017 and the three of them haven’t looked back!
