An opportunity to hear two of the most promising stars of the British Blues scene in one evening. Ian Parker, who opens the show, is no stranger to Devizes, but tonight performs with his full electric line-up for the first time. Signed by Ruff Records he has produced a string of highly acclaimed recordings, but it is his live shows on which his reputation has been built. 
On stage at 10.00 The Ian Siegal Band 
"It has been said that had Ian Siegal been around in the 1960's he would now be accorded the same reverence as Eric Clapton, Van Morrison or Joe Cocker. His most recent album was described in MOJO as: 'One of the most inventive Blues recordings ever made by a British artist'.

Dates Confirmed for 2007 

Saturday, 16th June 
Friday 10th August 
Friday AND Saturday, 21st - 22nd September 

More dates to be announced!!! 

This venue has been designed, over a five year period, by award winning architect Stephen Donald Architects, and was decorated and furnished by Shaun Clarkson as a 1940s-inspired supper club in the heart of the West End. It encapsulates the glamour and sophistication of that bygone era. Patrons are invited to dine whilst enjoying the house band. The club will occasionally showcase major stars from across the globe such as Shirley Bassey, Ruby Turner and Van Morrison. On other evenings young and up and coming artists will perform in this glamorous venue. As evenings draw on the venue transforms into a late night lounge club with great DJs and performances that maintain the same supper club vibe of sophisticated elegance. 

Diners at The Pigalle Club’s mezzanine restaurant overlooking the stage will be able to choose from a set menu of modern European classics. The staff dress in 1940s style uniforms which, along with aged wood panelling and twinkling diamond mirrored walls throughout, demonstrates the commitment to an authentic supper club atmosphere. Delicate sconces around tiny wall lights and soft table lighting complete the elegant mood.
