Star-studded launch for Seaton's new Jazz Supper Club

Jazz Jurassica and The Gateway Theatre in Seaton will launch a new jazz supper club on Saturday, November 19 with award-winning jazz singer-pianist, Liane Carroll.

Jazz Jurassica and The Gateway have joined forces to paint the town red with a night combining world class jazz, a relaxed ambience and delicious food. 

Julie Sheppard of Jazz Jurassica said: "The idea of a jazz supper club isn't new. Places like The Cotton Club in Harlem and Ronnie Scott's in Soho became famous for combining jazz with food so customers could indulge both pleasures simultaneously." 

Jazz Jurassica has a reputation for staging top quality music events, including a successful jazz supper club several years ago in Lyme Regis.

Julie added: "We know from experience there's an appetite for a night out with a difference. And it's great to work with new partners - The Gateway Theatre and Le Pisani, Seaton's well-regarded Mediterranean restaurant for a delicious supper. And for this very special evening, we're setting the bar sky-high.

"I can't think of anyone better than Liane Carroll, the queen of British jazz, to help launch the club.:

Liane Carroll is multi-award-winning jazz singer with an international reputation. With her stunning vocals, magnificent piano playing, and witty banter, she's a consummate entertainer. 

"Liane is a musical force of nature and quite simply world class," said Julie.

"She doesn't perform very often in our area so it's a great opportunity to see her at her best, sitting at her piano singing her heart out."  

Tickets for the launch event cost £35 and include a two-course supper and be available online from Jazz Jurassica or in person from The Gateway. 

Booking is essential as there'll be no walk-ups on the night. Tickets are limited so organisers advise booking early to avoid disappointment. 

Julie added: "We'll be seating customers on cabaret-style tables for eight which means you can sit with friends and also make new ones. We want to create an intimate and friendly atmosphere where everyone feels included and welcome, whether you come with a crowd or you're on your own.

"It'll be a relaxed and enjoyable evening – a night to remember. We're a long way from Harlem, but a piece of Soho has finally arrived in Seaton".
