Doors: 5pm / Gig: 5-6pm
Happy Hour: 5-6pm
Free Entry
Under-18’s welcome until 7pm!
We don’t take advance table bookings M&P’s Early-Evening Gigs, just make sure you get down early to bagsy the best seats in the house!
Paul Bytheway, frontman and guitarist from The Retrosettes, The Horse Puppets and The Bytheways (who all play at M&Ps regularly) plays solo for the early music set.
In all the bands Paul plays, he is the singer guitarist, but interestingly, his first instrument is piano. As a teen he played in late 90s Brit-Pop bands, then joined a touring tribute to The Doors (as the organist/left hand bassist!). Paul has played all over the world as a guitarist, and in the studio as a pianist/synth player, this is a chance to hear him play piano and sing live, to show where his musical influences began.
For fans of The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, 80s new romantics and 90s Britpop.
Plus, it’s HAPPY HOUR 5-6PM - that means buy 2 drinks and get a whole FREE PIZZA or get 2 house cocktails for just £15!

Rooted in pop, funk and hip hop, the band’s brassy beats are an instant favourite of any audience lucky enough to catch these guys live. Since 2016, they’ve been wreaking havoc in venues around the world, coaxing even the stubbornest of dance-phobics from their seats with their signature take on your go-to hits.
From the all-time disco bangers of the 80’s, to the R’n’B classics of the 90’s, to the unforgettable pop hits from the naughties through to the present day… Absolutely any age group who loves a dance will fall in love with this band’s one-of-a-kind sound, musicianship, and simply electrifying showmanship. A gig with Back Chat Brass is so much more than a gig.
*VIP Stage-Side Tables: Here you have the best experience of the band, plus full table service. Please note that on Friday/Saturday nights, there is a dance floor in between the VIP tables and the stage, so you may have people dancing in front of you (you can’t blame them!)
