Come join us for a fun filled evening of Jazz & Gin at Blossoms Cocktail Bar & Restaurant. The evening will showcase a live performance from Stella Homewood along with a specially curated cocktail list to complement the Fringe.Stella has been performing jazz in and around the Brighton and Sussex area since 2002. Greatly inspired by the music and sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irvin Berlin, Peggy Lee, Doris Day, Teddy Wilson and Al Bowley.Stella's words:"I feel honoured to share my passion for music and I hope to bring joy to the people I sing for. For me, singing is a spiritual experience where I feel the connection and relationship to the audience is the most important element. It isn't about us, the band, but it's about all of us together and what we can make happen as a community, sharing in an uplifting and unforgettable experience".In partnership with Terrence Higgins Trust, 100% of proceeds from donations, raffle, and collections on the night will go to the charity, who are doing such important work. The info:The evening will kick off around 5pm with music starting around 7:30pm and will end at 9:30pm, with an interval. Doors will open at 5pm.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
