Saturday 18 June – Elaine Crighton Quartet
It will have been one month since the fabulous Elaine and her quartet performed in The Coffee House and in our opinion that is far too long a time! An evening with Elaine is never a disappointment, especially if you are a big fan of jazz. Her soothing, yet sassy voice never fails to capture the jazz classics such as ‘black coffee’ and ‘mean to me’. Come along to relax, revive and recharge! You will not be disappointed!
Saturday 25 June – Latin Dance Night
It will be the last weekend of June and hopefully will be the start of Aberdeen’s short but sweet Summer! What better way to celebrate than to have a Latin party at The Coffee House from 8.30 till midnight! Cocktails will be served and if the weather proves to be nice we can open the doors and transport us to somewhere exotic, far away from Aberdeen!

If you missed this night, don’t worry! Join us every Tuesday to get into the Summer spirit from 6.30pm to 11pm!
Saturday 16 April – Blues and a splash of Jazz
The Usmani Collective serenaded us again with Jazz and Blues classics. The two fabulous singers Lauren Fekete and Ana Garcia Diaz took us on a journey through the relationship between Jazz and Blues music. Originating from New Orleans in the 19th and 20th century Jazz gained it’s roots from Blues music and became one of the most dominant music genres during the first half of the 20th century. Jazz classics included ‘Blue Moon’, and ‘Cest si Bon’ whilst Blues included Lauren’s take on ‘St James Infirmary’.
Saturday 23 April – Jazz with Elaine Crighton Quartet
It was the first time that Elaine Crighton and the rest of her quartet joined us for an evening of Jazz! The smooth Jazz, cocktails and audience created an unforgettable atmosphere!

Our fantastic King of the Keys, Adam Usmani set a relaxed atmosphere with singer Lauren Fekete as they guided us through some of the Jazz and Blues classics such ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘Why don’t you do right’ and ‘bad to the bone’.
