Kingston's famous Speakeasy Party takes over the whole of the Grey Horse Smok'd for our annual NYE party the place to be for vintage speakeasy vibes and outstanding live music.

See FAQ below

Dance into 2026 with infectious five piece rhythm n’ blues band Two Gun Mathilda playing high energy fifties and sixties numbers, soul and rock’n’roll all night long. 

Two Gun Mathilda move the parts of your soul that you forgot about. These rising stars have been playing iconic venues like Aint Nothin’ But, The Roxy and our very own Ram Jam Records.

Fronted by powerhouse Japanese vocalist Shuko, the band draws from 1950s and ‘60s American sounds while weaving in the flair of ‘60s Japanese pop. With Roni driving the beat on drums, Jess tearing it up on guitar, Craig holding down the groove on bass, and Lee Badau blasting soulful sax lines, their live shows are a gritty, grooving throwback with a modern twist. Two Gun Mathilda pays tribute to vintage sounds—but with a style and spirit all their own.
