Live Music
in Paignton.
Live piano every week. Jazz, open mic and special guests on top.
A working piano. A room built
to hear every note.
Live music in Paignton used to mean a covers band on a Saturday or whatever was on at the Palace Theatre. Black Ivory does it differently: a working piano in a room small enough to hear someone breathe between notes.
There's live music every week: piano on Wednesdays, jazz on Thursdays, open mic or live music on Sundays. Special nights with guest performers sit on top, and they're all on the What's On calendar.
Every week at Black Ivory.
Live piano on Wednesdays, jazz on Thursdays, and open mic or live music on Sunday afternoons. Dates, times and special nights are all on the calendar.

Tony Scorza & Al Bovey
Hosts of our Sunday open mic afternoons. Both seasoned performers in their own right, both committed to making the room a place where pianists at any level feel welcome to play. If you've ever wanted to sit at a grand piano in front of a room of people, Sunday afternoon is your moment.
Resident Pianist
Wednesday evenings are the anchor of our week. Live piano from 7.30pm with guest singers joining in, playing standards, newer songs and requests from the room.
