Overview

If you're searching for something a wee bit different to do on a Thursday night that's not your regular old takeaway and TV binge, consider harking back to decades gone and trumpets blown and getting a bit of jazz into you at The Swinging Cat.

Every Thursday for the next three months the jazz club is hosting A Night With The Nail, presented by Drambuie.

The event will feature a signature cocktail, The Rusty Nail. It's whisky and Drambuie liqueur with a lemon twist, steeped in 1960s history and drunk by the Rat Pack era in New York. Whack on that winged eyeliner and tight man pants and go listen to something that isn't the Stranger Things opening theme. To set the scene further and help out with flashbacks to Rat Pack era times, Herb Armstrong — that's Louis Armstrong's grandson — will be the opening night act. The venue will also resemble a 1960s New York, prohibition style bar.

A Night With The Nail starts at 6.30pm on September 8 and runs every Thursday for three months.
