Liane Carroll

Liane Carroll plays Porters Wine Bar on Wednesday 18 November, with free entry on the night. It's a mid-week date in the Old Town, so you can just drift in without having to plan your whole evening around it.

If you haven't spent much time there, Porters is at 56 High Street in Hastings' Old Town. It's been around since 1986 and sits in a Grade 2 listed building, so it's got that proper old-town feel rather than something that's been bolted on recently. It's become a bit of a local staple, known for live music and a lively atmosphere, and it runs performances several times a week, with the bookings ranging from jazz to acoustic sets by local talent. Carroll fits right into that mix.

Beyond the music, there's outdoor seating if the weather holds, and a menu of small and large plates made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. They also keep a wide selection of craft ales, fine wines and classic cocktails on hand, so it works as a spot for a full meal or just a drink while you listen. If you're coming for the music, you can grab a table and a glass of wine and settle in for the set.

It's a free entry night, so there's nothing to book in advance — just turn up on Wednesday 18 November at Porters Wine Bar in the Old Town.
