Tonight in The Lounge, Ayrton Foote leads some of Wellington's best jazz musicians, playing Bossa Nova Soul Samba - a tribute to legends Ike Quebec and Duke Pearson. From 9pm. No cover. just koha.

We're not impartial BUT tonight's live stream is a lot of fun to re-watch. A credit to those unsung heroes - microphones, webcams and a scene-switching macro. Oh, and the musicians.

Our regular jazz session happens at 7pm today. Mike Jensen is in charge, with help from Miles Crayford and Lockie Bennett. Plus others, in all likelihood! No cover, just koha. Livestream for the infirm and indecisive: youtube.com/live/ATz4-pzYS…

Not every one of these sessions incorporates an organ.

Tonight’s bottle pours.

Tonight's bottle pour is very much from the cellar. 100ml each of the two variants of Modern Times Funky Universal Friend. The funky friend being brettanomyces!

A couple of hours to go.

We've learned that some good friends, who were here on Thursday evening, have tested positive for COVID. Our ventilation was working hard on Thurs, but not enough to eliminate all risk. The unlucky ones were in the area we call the Red Room, not the Lounge where the music was.

The End. Enjoy. youtube.com/watch?v=NCa7z_…
