The Jazz Café is more than just venue available to hire. The Jazz Café is a place where memories are made and occasions are celebrated. Throughout Reading, we’re known for our live music events that typically feature bands and artists across a wide range of music genres. From Motown, to soul, to disco and RnB music, our live music events tend to take place at the beginning of the year when people need something to look forward to, and towards the end of the year with plenty of events on at Christmas-time.
If you’ve never been to one of our live music events before, we’ve spoilt you for choice with 5 reasons why you should come to the next one! Read on to find out more…
1. Quality Bands & Artists
We’ve all been there when one of your friends says, let’s go to the local, there’s a band playing and the band turns out to be average and is really only good for a bit of background vocals…well, you’ll be pleased to know that here at The Jazz Café, all of our bands and artists have been packing our venue (and our dancefloor) for many many years.
The majority of our bands have been together for years making them super professional and extremely talented as they’ve perfected their art together over a long period of time; with many being the best in the South East. Our bands are regulars, and know the venue inside and out, and span a range of music genres guaranteeing that they’ll be an event suitable for your music taste. We may be called The Jazz Café, but we offer much more than just jazz!
2. Ticket Options
With all of our live music events, you’ll find that we offer two ticket options for each event.
The first ticket option is the Dinner Ticket. This ticket includes a 2-course (sometimes 3-course) meal that is served before the show and is the perfect option if you are celebrating a special occasion and are looking to make an evening of it. Each event will detail whether it is a 2-course or 3-course meal, so please check this when booking. If you choose this option, please note that we are able to cater for any dietary requirements, please just let us know beforehand.
The second ticket option is our Entry Only Ticket. As this ticket suggests, this option only allows you entry into the event; there is no food or drink included in your ticket. If you purchase this ticket, you will only be able to arrive/enter the event once dinner service has been completed and the live music is about to start.
3. Affordable Night Out
The cost of living crisis is no joke, and we understand that people are looking to make a saving wherever they can. Our live music events are affordable way to have an enjoyable night out with friends or celebrate that special occasion in a fun way. Our Entry Only tickets are just £12.00 no matter the event and is the ideal option if you’re looking for a good time on a budget.
4. DJ & Disco
Quite often with our live music events, our resident DJ will take over once the band or artist has finished their performance. Typically, our bands will perform 2 x 45 minute sets, and then once they’ve finished our DJ is on hand to keep the party going into the early hours.
Our live music events will finish at midnight on any events Sunday – Thursday and 1am at events on a Friday or Saturday.
5. Central Location
The Jazz Café is centrally located making it super easy to get to and from. 4* hotel, voco Reading, is just next door which means taxis are readily available to take you onto your next destination. Alternatively, we do have onsite, complimentary parking should you be driving.
voco Reading also offer guests of The Jazz Café special discounted accommodation rates, so if you live further away, or wish to make a weekend of it, why not book one a hotel room? Please enquire directly with the hotel to make use of this fantastic benefit.
