G’s Bar and Diner in Birmingham’s lively Jewellery Quarter is celebrating 2010 in style with the launch of The Speakeasy Wednesday Club on 3 February with Patsy Fuller’s Speakeasy Blues Band.
This will create a much-needed live music space with atmosphere, where deep southern Creole meets Caribbean fresh food and the latest live jazz to relax after work or simply for a midweek chill. It will help liven up these late winter dark and grey days and it won’t cost a fortune.
Chef, Gary Flash has designed the special tapas menu with a Creole/Caribbean flourish with Spin A Gig Sprats, Me Julie Chicken and Creole vegetable stir fry. These are perfect for sampling with G’s signature cocktails including the Speakeasy Side Car Cocktail and Cup of Moonshine.
Gary Flash said: ‘The tapas tasters are ideal for the mood of the Speakeasy sessions - my culinary style is a fusion of Caribbean with other tastes and flavours from Chinese and Italian food’.
Patsy Fuller was a hit recently at Symphony Hall’s Rush Hour Blues and she intends to bring her soft, seductive sound with discerning taste to G’s every Wednesday.
Patsy said: ‘We wanted to create a perfect atmosphere for relaxing after work, where you can escape mid-week and meet friends, invite colleagues and so the speakeasy idea came up. My laid-back style of jazz will be there to guide you through the evening and ensure you leave your worries at the door’.
