Woolloomooloo
The Old Fitzroy Hotel
Sunday jazz from 2pm
Live jazz
A straightforward choice if jazz is the reason you’re going out. The Old Fitz’s Sunday program separates lunch from the music: food begins at noon, while the jazz starts at 2pm.
The event’s noon listing time refers to the lunch, not the jazz start.

Scruffy Murphy’s
Sunday · confirm live-set start
Irish music; solo and duo acts
The Sunday program names Cara Kavanagh and friends for live Irish tunes. A separate entertainment page also lists solo and duo musicians from Thursday to Sunday.
Ask for the live musicians’ start time: a DJ follows the Irish set, and is a separate part of the night.

A few things to know
Where can I hear live music this Sunday?
For Sunday 18 October 2026, the published programs name Louis Sam Green at Icebergs from 3–6pm and John Strati at the Coach from 6pm. East Village Balmain, the Old Fitz and Terminus also advertise weekly Sunday performances. Confirm any late changes before leaving.
Are these Sunday gigs free entry?
Entry prices are not consistently stated in the current sources, so no free-entry claim is made here. Check with the venue before you travel, including any club entry requirements at Icebergs.
Do I need a booking?
A table booking is useful if you want lunch or a seat with a group. Check whether a reservation covers the performance area; a dining booking and entry to a gig can have different conditions.
Does this guide include DJs?
The featured recommendations are based on live musicians. Scruffy Murphy’s also runs a later DJ session, which is not the performance recommended here. For DJ-led afternoons and broader plans, see the Sunday Sessions guide.
