Stay on or come join us after the Christmas Fair for a special bar night with performances from local legend Vodka Terry and the very gorgeous, very talented NiCKY!
Composer, pianist & host of the much loved Sing with NiCKY series at the Retro Bar in town, we're chuffed to have NiCKY in the house from Christmas. If you've seen them before you'll know that they manage to balance joy and sorrow on the tip of their clown's hat, writing from the compost of clowning, cabaret and Fairport Convention. Someone wrote, "NiCKY could be a Ru Paul finalist as envisaged by Jean Cocteau'' and its bang on.
Vodka Terry is a self taught harpist -- come reedem yourself in the strings of forgiveness!!
A vital voice in London’s queer performance scene, NiCKY is known for their disarming, emotionally charged songwriting – part torch song, part bedroom synth fantasy. Recent work includes scores for Tomorrow Is Already Dead at Soho Theatre, London, and The AIDS Plays Project at London Performance Studios. NiCKY is currently working on their debut album. Their EP, with, was released at Cafe OTO in 2025.

Vodka Terry isn’t really a ladder salesman she is a self taught harpist with disgustingly honest lyrics and a penchant for humanity. You’ll probably laugh, could cry but also potentially be sick in your mouth (in a hot way).
