Celebrate Nightjar’s 14th birthday with The Roy Pfeffer Trio!
Enjoy a Welcome Drink and Free Live Music on us!
To celebrate our 14th birthday, we want to show our appreciation to all our loyal customers and invite you for a round on us. On Monday the 18th of November, we'll be giving away a Hennessy X.O Champagne cocktail to each guest who has booked.
We will also have free live music from 8pm with the brilliant Roy Pfeffer. Band leader and drummer Roy Pfeffer stands as one of London's most recognised ambassadors of New Orleans music.
Leading the acclaimed New Orleans funk band, The Big Smoke Family, they have become regulars at Ronnie Scott's and favourites on New Orleans' biggest radio station, WWOZ.
He has studied with master drummer Herlin Riley (Wynton Marsalis, Ahmed Jamal) and with Joey Peebls (Trombone Shorty). His dedication to the craft has led him to share the stage with esteemed Nola legends like Cha Wa, Rebirth Brass Band and Zigaboo Modeliste (the Meters) and playing the Congo Square Stage at the renowned New Orleans Jazz Fest.
Pfeffer's own trio offers a soulful mix of New Orleans jazz, Mardi Gras energy, and funk, with a repertoire ranging from Grant Green to Horace Silver and Idris Muhammad and many more. Tonight Roy will be joined by Andy Noble on Keys and Mao Yamada on Bass.
