Criss-Cross jazz nights are held every tuesday evening The Cross bar's spacious upstairs room. Music starts at 8.30 with support bands featuring some of the city's finest young musicians, followed by a main act of national standing. Julian Seigel, Liam Noble and Troyka are some of the artists to have graced the stage here. Entry is free.

Nights were set up by drummer and Moseley-ite Simon Spreyer, who takes the role as compere, raffle co-ordinator and general centre of attention when not performing in one of the bands.

Located in Mosley a mere half-hour outside the city centre, The Cross is accesable via bus or cheap taxi ride. It's interior has a bright, welcoming atmosphere, furnished with leather sofas as well as a sizable downstairs dining area and swanky new cocktail bar. Food and drink aren't exactly budget price, but the European beers on tap and gourmet burgers ar well worth shelling out for. Drinks deals and BOGOF on pizzas are available on Criss-Cross nights!

So good, Ben Bryden dedicated a tune to the place!
