24.01.2022 Hey Blues fans - the Bad Mama Blues Bandits take over Bad Mamas Dungeon again tonight to wreak musical magic & havoc in equal amounts. Its the Jam of Jams. Orchestrated by Greg Nunan - its become a wild rollicking mountain of fun & fabulous music each Wednesday Night from 8pm. Maybe the well stocked Whisky Bar nearby has something to do with it being so successful? Maybe its the great food readily available? But mostly we think its the power of great live music - where all are welcome to descend underground, climb onstage & join in. For more on Bad Mama visit http://badmamabar.com/ Cheers!

24.01.2022 Billie McCarthy is a country girl who took the jazz bus to the city and had a dirty love affair in a back lane with Neo Soul.

Drawing on the likes of Billie Holiday, Jill Scott, Joni Mitchell and Blossom Dearie she has developed her own unique smoky brew of jazz diva, soul songstress, folk balladeer and cabaret comedienne.... Her extremely able partners in mischief are the brilliant Ben Panucci on Guitar & Jazzy Jonathan Zwartz on the Double Trouble Bass. Her take on Willie Nelsons Georgia is sublime. 7.30pm Tuesday Feb 18th - great food, great drinks, free entry & priceless atmosphere. Cheers! For more info on Bad Mama visit http://badmamabar.com/

19.01.2022 February Monday Movies features Original Classic Films that were really really badly remade. So tonight we have Paul Verhoevens brilliant "Robocop". There are many reasons why RoboCop endures as one of the best films of the 1980s, but one of them stands out from the rest: its so many things at once. Its a sharp corporate satire. Its a violent action movie. Its a pitch-black comedy. Its a science fiction film about mortality and technology. But as well as all that, its a classic crime film. 7.30pm tonight - free entry, free popcorn & Happy Hour Drink prices all night. Cheers!
