Blast Off! returns for the second trip at Captain’s Bar!

An all vinyl, all night excursion with residents Mr Salt,
Geese Sveikaukas and Tom Ellis bringing a farout selection of musical musings.

Expect a technicolour mix of freaked out funk, stoned soul, cosmic rock and atomic breaks.

What better way to start the bank holiday weekend?!
And what's better? It's free entry!

The words of our good friend and colleague; Danny Higgins:

Since the sad, sad news of Captain’s Bar closing its doors at the end of the month, that means we only have one Jam Night left! Next Thursday, the 22nd!

Jam Night’s been a staple of the Captain’s calendar for years, & is an absolute pleasure! Hanging out with friends, playing some tunes, drinking some drinks. It’s sad that this is the last one.

Anyway, I’d love to make this the biggest & best one we’ve seen! So, any musician friends, feel more than welcome to come along, have a good time & say farewell to Stoke’s greatest tiki bar.

Instruments & gear can be provided, or feel free to bring your own! (Although, we can’t really accommodate Ampeg fridges, & Marshall stacks in the bar… so leave those at home)

Personally, I’d love to see all the regular faces & some new faces, so come along & let’s have some fun! Get that Captain’s Bar Choir in full swing!

From all the team at Captain's Bar it's with heavy hearts we have to announce the closure of the venue from June 2nd 2025.

We've had many great years providing a space for grassroots musicians, promoters, poets, djs and other arts. Both national and international. Not to mention serving countless cocktails to the ever growing community that find refuge in our humble bar.

Sadly the time has come to bow out of the game due to increasing costs of maintaining such a business and the sale of the building we operate from.

We remain open until Monday 1st June if you would like to come and party with us one last time.

We are sorry to say any events booked in after this date have been cancelled. We will try and contact everyone involved.

Thank you everyone who has supported the cause.

If you have any fond memories of Captain’s Bar please post them below.
