We take our music very seriously indeed. After all, the right music creates the best ambience a place could hope for. Expect the best in jazz, blues and beyond. Shisha Café regularly features live bands on most Thursday evenings at 8.30 pm. You’ll hear dynamic drumbeats, tuneful guitars and soulful saxophones, some blowing their magic in a rhythmic fusion of bop, swing, funk, trad, straight ahead and more, in fact a wide sweep of the best that 21st-century world music has to offer. This weekly sound feast culminates in an annual jazz festival held in August. We are always on the lookout for fresh new talent. We encourage upcoming jazz artists to come and play at Shisha, so that they can reach a discerning audience, and get onto a wider platform, vis-a-vis the music. Contact us today to get dates when you can perform at Shisha Café.]
