Sunday Jazz at Whighams

Our famed jazz club was started back in March 2009 by two friends – local jazz musician Kevin Dorrian and jazz enthusiast Graeme Knox, regularly welcoming a crowd that reaches well into three figures every week. It has become one of the leading weekly jazz club’s in the UK – continually attracting some of the biggest names in jazz from around Scotland, the rest of the UK and Internationally.  We’ve featured a raft of styles from the ‘Golden Age’ jazz of the early 20th century, Dixieland, Gypsy Jazz, West Coast, Be-Bop and of course some fantastic re-workings of The Great American Songbook.

A £5 cover charge per person is applicable for Jazz performances.  This insures we can continue to support live music on a weekly basis.
All times 7-9:15 unless otherwise stated.

Wine Tastings

Want to expand your wine knowledge or just try new things.  We have options for you.

Pop in anytime and try one of our 5 wine flights.  Each flight consists of 4 wines to try with handy notes to tell you more.

Or purchase a voucher for our ‘whose wine is it anyway’ tasting quiz.  This is a really enjoyable and informal wine tasting where you can compete to see whose palate is the best, or just enjoy the fun.  Each wine you will taste blind and have 3 clues to which it can be.  This is a great tasting if there are a bunch of you or even just you and a friend.

Once you have purchased your voucher just give us a ring and get booked in.

If you want to hold a taking for more than 12 people please email [email protected] with your requirements.
