Buy music you hear at The B-Bar

We've got a family of artistes that have connected to the B-Bar - and you can meet them right here and find out a bit more about them.

Out To Grass are a fantastic outfit playing crazy bluegrass covers.

They don't just play well, they entertain wonderfully - so even if you've never tried a bluegrass gig, you'll come away loving it!
If you don't we'll eat our ten-gallon hats. Yee-hah!

Visit www.myspace.com/outtograss to hear their music.




Diz Watson is the UK's leading New Orleans-style blues and boogie-woogie pianist.

He's regularly seen at blues festivals across Europe but he fits in some time with us on a regular basis.

Visit www.myspace.com/dizwatson to hear his great music.







Louise Parker is the First Lady of Plymouth's jazz scene.

After just a couple of gigs here, she thinks it's one of the best venues she's played; where she and her band can relate to the audience intimately.

The late Humphrey Lyttleton rated her and so do we.


Visit www.myspace.com/louiseparkerquartet to hear her music.
