Edgar Macías presents,

Sarah Tweed sings brazilian music & standards
Performing music inspired by Astrud Gilberto, Blossom Dearie, Sarah Vaughan, Edith Piaf, and many others. 
Sarah?s first memory of a live jazz gig was when she was about 5 years old. Her father (a jazz pianist) took her to Ronnie Scott?s on a Sunday lunchtime and she was hooked. Sarah grew up listening to an eclectic range of music including, Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughan, Blossom Dearie, Ella, Billie Holliday and many others. She sang with her first jazz trio aged 18. After working with guitarist Steve Downes and dipping in and out of other genres Sarah has sung with her partner Edgar Macías introducing some Latin & Brazilian vibes to her repertoire. Sarah recently delighted the audience at legendary jazz venue The Pheasantry in London, Peggy?s Skylight in Nottingham, has also performed on The Queen Victoria cruise liner, The Tower of Song, The trumpet and Café No. 5 in Kinver, among others, and has also made guest appearances at The Blue Piano, Cafe Artum, Akamba, The Rhodehouse and The Prince of Wales Birmingham.

Sounds of South America with Ernesto ?Renán? Uquillas
A relaxing blend of Brazilian, Venezuelan, Salsa & Boleros music featuring Ernesto Renán & the Edgar Macías Quintet.
Guitarist and singer, Ernesto Renán developed his artistic career in Caracas, Venezuela. He started on television (Channel 8) as a singer with the Arnaldo Naly Orchestra and legendary drummer & percussionist, Frank ?El Pavo? Hernández. He then began playing with the ?Los Melódicos? Orchestra, a Latin Big Band, as a singer performing across South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina), Central America (Panama, Costa Rica) and New York. He later joined the jazz trio of Julián Romero, who he played with for a year in Acapulco, Mexico as a guitarist and singer for the group Los Corsarios.
Returning to Caracas, Venezuela, Renán worked with pianist Oscar ?El Negro? Maggi, legendary vibraphonist and percussionist Freddy Roldán and became a residency guitarist and singer at a famous and prestigious jazz club called Juan Sebastián Bar.
His esteemed career has taken him to all the major jazz clubs in Caracas, such as Fedora Jazz and Mayfair Station and has worked with endless world-class musicians including Paquito d?Rivera, Pedro López? (pianist and band leader) and accompanied the Brazilian singer Lenny Andrade.
Renán and Edgar Macías have worked together internationally on many occasions including in Venezuela, Madrid, Birmingham and aboard the Queen Victoria ship, the Cunard line and the Queen?s Room Orchestra.

Buena Vista Social Club 25th Anniversary with the Edgar Macías Quintet plus one

Buena Vista Social Club is both the name given to this extraordinary group of musicians and the album, recorded in just seven days in 1996 in Havana?s 1950s vintage EGREM studios. It was clear from the atmosphere of the recording sessions that something very special was taking place. However, no one could have predicted that Buena Vista Social Club would become a worldwide phenomenon ? awarded a Grammy in 1997 and, at 8 million copies, outselling any other record in the same genre.
The acclaim of the original album has elevated the artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González & Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularising Cuba?s rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century.
The project is Edgar Macías Quintet?s ?take? on this album or rendition of it. Every single track from this landmark album has been re-arranged and adapted for a Latin Jazz Quintet format, based on the abilities of each member of the group

17 years of Musical Genius and the best Guinness in town.

We continue to put on a wide range of music here at Katie Fitzgeralds from singer/ songwriters to Blues , Folk, Jazz, Rockabilly , Pop , Indie, metal and world music.

Jam Night...

Irish Sessiun...
Every Wednesday night in the upstairs bar.

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.

Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.

In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.

Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.

Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
