What to expect this weekend at Barnaby's Lounge...

Not every weekend deserves a plan. This one does.

🎹 FRIDAY | Ellie Babies Jazz Trio | 8.30pm
Expect a joyful collision of jazz, swing, blues and boogie-woogie from one of the South Coast's most entertaining live acts. Ellie Babies bring infectious energy, outstanding musicianship, and the kind of performance that fills a room with smiles before the first set is over.

🎤 11pm till Late | Karaoke Night
Once the jazz winds down, the microphones come out. Whether you're a shower singer, secret superstar, or just here to cheer from the sidelines, Friday night karaoke has become one of Hastings' favourite late-night gatherings.

The whole street comes alive with food, art, music and community spirit.

🎸 5pm | Thom-Elizabeth & Tellums
Original music from two exciting local acts. Expect soaring melodies, acoustic storytelling and Tellums' infectious "Pastel Pop Explosion" sound inspired by Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol and Phoenix. A perfect soundtrack to a summer afternoon.

🎷 SUNDAY | John Donaldson Jazz Collective | 1.30pm
A heavyweight line-up featuring some of the finest jazz musicians on the South Coast. Sophisticated, soulful and the perfect companion to a Powell's Kitchen Sunday Roast.

🎶 4.30pm | The Alphabet Quartet
A wonderfully unique cocktail jazz experience featuring "All The Tunes In Order". Relax into Sunday evening with great music, cocktails, wine and good company.

🎷 Last night at Barnaby’s Lounge was something special.
The Paul Wertico Quintet — Paul, Enrico Pinna, Terry Pack, Josephine Davies and Josh Peach on our new Yamaha U3 — sold out the seats, the stairs, and the standing room. A proper East Sussex jazz moment.

Before the show, Chicago‑based Paul shared a short piece of advice for musicians of any age: be you. Be your own voice. 🎶

Be true to yourself. Wonderful, humble energy from a man with seven Grammy awards.

If you want to stay ahead of the next big night — and not miss artists like Paul Wertico when they appear in Hastings — join the Barnaby’s VIP list. It’s the quickest way to hear what’s coming up and how the room is evolving.

🎶 Sunday Jazz Lunch at Barnaby’s Lounge 🎶

Some performances don't need a big band, flashing lights, or a packed stage.

Sometimes all it takes is two exceptional musicians, two guitars, and songs delivered with honesty, warmth, and soul.

Join us on Sunday 14th June at 1.30pm as Donna Canale & Bruce Knapp bring their beautifully crafted jazz, blues, and acoustic favourites to Barnaby's Lounge.

Donna's expressive vocals and effortless guitar work combine perfectly with Bruce's rich, tasteful musicianship, creating an intimate afternoon of timeless melodies, elegant arrangements, and the kind of musical chemistry that can only come from years of performing together.

This is music that invites you to slow down. To settle into your seat, enjoy a glass of wine, share a meal with friends, and let the soundtrack of your Sunday unfold naturally.

🍷 Cocktails & carefully selected wines
🍽️ Sunday Roast by Powell's Kitchen
