Announcing Blue Beat, the new venue of Christopher Richards and Nicholas Rice.

Anyone familiar with Chris and Nick wont be surprised that Blue Beat stands for quality music played by superb musicians, in a setting that gives audiences and musicians alike a memorably satisfying experience.

Blue Beat is founded on the same passion for live music thats been at the heart of Chris and Nicks previous venues. For those who dont know, Nicks history includes entertainment, promotions and venue consultancy, including key Sydney venues Bar Broadway and the Marquee nightclub. Chris is synonymous with The Basement, as manager, co-owner and booker. After nearly four decades he has strong connections with industry from festival directors to sound technicians, and he brings all this to Blue Beat.

"We think Sydney needs, and deserves, a venue thats of its time, and caters for reasonably discerning audiences, in a way that puts the music centre-stage,"explains Rice. "But you might also just want to call in for a late-night drink or an after-theatre tapas and a place to talk."

"So the Blue Beat philosophy is about an exciting journey through the world of contemporary music, around which we've built a venue thats unpretentious but has great attention to detail,"says Richards.
