Hailing from Wellington New Zealand, The Roseneath Centennial Ragtime Band is a step back in time to music that filled the watering holes and dance-halls of New Orleans in the 1930's and 40's. Heavily influenced by the legendary entertainer Louis Armstrong and his Hot Fives and Sevens, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band of New Orleans, the Roseneath Centennial Ragtime Band looks to recreate the music and atmosphere found in the social and pleasure clubs of New Orleans during this time. The group features prominent Wellington musicians from bands such as Niko Nezna, Newtown Rocksteady, Zirigidum and Battlestar Galactika and our aim is to get asses shaking!

We love brunch as much as any good Wellingtonion – it’s one of our favourite times of the week! Every Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2pm, our place is the perfect spot to bring your family and friends for a bite to eat.

We’ve got the kids covered, with craft tables set up, colouring competitions, facepainting, toys and kid-friendly staff ready to get involved! Once a month we even have a Cross Critters dress-up disco – join our kids mailing list to find out more.

If you’re keen to come in for some kai and kids activities on the weekend, we recommend you give us a bell first to book a table.

Taking its’ name from the fact they use an old upright piano and upright bass (but not upright drums..) and featuring the rhythm section from The Roseneath Centennial Ragtime Band, (Dayle Jellyman: upright piano; Dan Yeabsley: upright bass; Mike Jensen: drums), The Uprights bring a new flavour to the Wellington acoustic music and jazz scene aimed at gettin’ a good groove goin’on. The Uprights have more of a bluesy, gospel sound, in the style of Ramsey Lewis and Benny Green. Playing all their own material, they aren’t afraid to holler along to their own songs when the occasion suits either!
Hauling a piano, bass and drums to a smoke filled dive near you soon…
