STICHTING CHEB GEBBETJE & MUSICIANS CAFÉ DE PATER

Achterom 8, The Hague – Café de Pater (the Priest) opens its doors in 1986, in an area called Achterom in the centre of the Hague. Since then, de Pater has become one of the Hague’s most active musical podiums. In the beginning de Pater was no different to any other pub, but in time the focus turned to music and soon musicians and music-lovers would make up the regulars. Initially, Rhythm and Blues ruled the program with performances by local bands. After a few years, with an increasingly varied audience, and a rising amount of visitors we have been able to extend our live program to four nights a week. Our program now consists of a jazz, salsa, pop, funk and reggae.

Wednesday - Pop workshop & Pater Session

Joaquin Lorenzo leads the Pop workshop every Wednesday at 19:30. He will share the do’s and don’ts of contemporary Pop music.

The Pater Session starts at 23:00. You can expect to be taken in by the rhythm and a night filled with musical adventure. De Pater has been around since 1986 and is a breeding ground for today’s talent.

Many musicians from the Hague have started their careers in de Pater. This session is for performances of varying levels. You’re welcome to join, even if you’re not quite the pop star yet.

Thursday – Worldmusic session

Every Thursday night our Worldmusic session takes off at 23:00. Students of Rotterdam’s Music Academy regularly fill the night with their sound, but we also welcome others who are interested in contributing or learning the ways of Worldmusic.

Many bands have started with us and some of our passed performers have even made it to the famous North Sea Jazz festival.

Friday – Jazz Podium

We host a Jazz concert every Friday night at 23:00. The program will consist of contemporary jazz and a variety of alternative jazz styles.




Saturday – Closed

De Pater is closed on Saturdays. This gives you the possibility to reservate De Pater for private parties/events. For more information please contact us. By telephone dail 070 345 08 52. You can also send an email to info@patermuziek.com.





Sunday – Funk Night

The best way to end the week is with a funk night. The stage will be taken over by a funk band where they will stay deep into the night.

Want to join? Sign up with the bandleader. (However, we do expect a certain level of skill with this style of music if you want to join.)

Many bands were born on this night, finally allowed to take the stage and use it to it’s full potential. Especially younger musicians have explored our podium and gained the skills to play funk or jazz funk.
