What a massive legacy for us, over nearly 4 decades

Playing to thousands of music fans

Jumpin’ Hot Club can be found in venues across the North East, from Cluny to Gosforth Civic Theatre through to our Country Cantina in Easington County Durham – we bring country roots music to every corner of the North East – finding unique and welcoming venues to showcase global talent.

The continuing success of the Jumpin' Hot Club is because it's never been an exercise in just getting punters to part with their hard-earned money. It's always been about following an interest and then putting a lot of time, energy and enthusiasm into telling others about it. More than anything, it's this kind of personal enthusiasm and commitment which gives the Jumpin' Hot Club it's own distinctive brand and flavour.
