Christmas Eve wit The James Oliver Band

Christmas Eve with James Oliver – Live at The Earl Haig Club Bar
Wednesday 24th December 2025
5:00 PM – 7:00 PM (prompt finish)
Free Entry

Christmas Eve at the Earl Haig wouldn’t be the same without James Oliver’s annual festive bash! One of the UK’s hardest-working and most exciting live acts, James has played more than 3,000 gigs across the UK, Europe, and the USA, sharing the stage with legends like Albert Lee, Bill Kirchen, Greg Koch, Walter Trout, and many more.

Crowned UK Blues Awards Emerging Artist of the Year (2020) and nominated three times since, James has built a reputation as a fiery guitarist and showman. With two studio albums, three live albums, and a #1 Amazon Blues hit under his belt, he’s now working on a brand-new record with legendary producer John Leckie. His YouTube channel boasts over 20,000 subscribers and more than 9 million views, proving his appeal stretches far beyond the stage.

This special early-evening set will run from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM sharp, so James can dash to his next gig—so make sure you’re here on time, because it’s guaranteed to be packed.

Show your appreciation by bringing a few quid to drop in the band’s bucket at half time—it’s the best way to support live music.

And the night doesn’t end there… The Jedis will hit the stage at 8:00 PM to keep the Christmas Eve celebrations going strong.

Live music, festive spirit, and a proper Whitchurch Christmas Eve party. Get here early—it’s going to be standing room only!
