It's all about the 1940s: low lighting, antique fittings, crisp white tablecloths and leather seating. The PIGALLE CLUB has dinner, dancing, cocktails and unbeatable shows.

- 24th October: ALEXANDER O'NEAL is one of the world's finest contemporary soul singers, but did you know he started out as part of Prince's backing band before leaving to form a hard rock band? 25 years on Alexander is at the top of his field, working and collaborating with stars such as Patti Labelle, Mica Paris, Janet Jackson, Gladys Knight and Cherelle
- 25th October: KING PLEASURE AND THE BISCUIT BOYS are one of the most popular jazz & swing bands in the world, made famous by Ronnie Scotts clubs, performing classy numbers in Louis Jordan & Eddie Cleanhead style. From their beginnings in a Walsall coffee shop, they have made a name (a quite distinctive name, we'd say) for themselves with fantastic jazz and blues rhythms, crazy on-stage antics, musical humour and total professionalism
- 31st October: THE DR TEETH BIG BAND was formed over seven years ago to reinvent the great sound of jazz/blues and swing and serve it up for the new millennium. It says here that they play "hard hitting-smart arsed-driving-soulfull-boogielitious music", which must be a good thing, surely.
