Seating is limited, and available on a first-come, first-served basis so early arrival is recommended. Join us for A Night at the Speakeasy — an evening of live jazz and vintage‑inspired atmosphere in support of The Army Benevolent Fund. Enjoy a full performance from The Speakeasy Bootleg Band hosted by local Army veteran and comedian Jim Bob, plus great food, drinks and the warm, intimate setting Matt and Phreds is known for. We’ll also be holding a charity raffle on the night, with prizes kindly donated by the venue and additional contributions to be confirmed. This promises to be a relaxed, feel‑good night out while raising vital funds for soldiers, veterans and their families. Speakeasy Bootleg Band are purveyors of the "Finest Quality Bootleg Music Since Records Began.... Distilled & Bottled in New York and Chicago", but consumed wherever finer things are appreciated. Firm favourites of M&P audiences, Speakeasy Bootleg Band play a heady mix of Jazz, Jive and Harlem swing; the vintage sounds of the Cotton Club and Birdland. A first-rate combination of irresistible brass, powerful bass, explosive drums and sophisticated witty vocals to make your Saturday night a hugely fun affair. This is the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway, Billie Holliday, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey and Count Basie, with a bit of stylish Rat Pack thrown in for good measure, the retro tunes which drove Tin Pan Alley and created the Great American Songbook.
