New Orleans is vibrant and sensuous. The food is rich, music is everywhere, the historic district is beautiful and lived-in, and you would have to work very hard to not have a good time. Newtown, with its bohemian mix of people could easily be New Orleans little sister. Newtown is the perfect place for a New Orleans inspired live Jazz and Blues Restaurant. The venue is the Vanguard. The word ‘vanguard’ has long been associated with freethinking, intellectual, artistic and musical movements. Newtown is home to artists, musicians and intellectuals but it is also home to many families. It is diverse, exciting, growing, moving and totally alive. Newtown is ready for The Vanguard!

It has been a long and arduous journey, but, one well worth taking. In the few years that we have been working on the project we have hit some highs, had many disappointments and the stress has been immeasurable. Yet, the dream lived on. Everyone has advice – mostly useless. Everyone has an opinion – often uninvited. Everyone thinks that it’s a great idea – they are right!
