Live music in Knowle

Big voices in a small village pub

Live music is a big part of life at the Dog & Donkey. Ian Boyd is a regular favourite, with powerful vocals and a set full of songs everyone knows. We’ve hosted Cool About Jazz for midweek jazz evenings, DJ Wadey for Saturday floor-fillers and even the Armonico Consort, who sang in the bar before their concert at St Peter’s Church.

Most music nights start at 8pm and are free to come along to. Book a table if you want to eat first.
