In a COVID-19 statement the Vortex club directors announce: ''In the light of the latest announcement by the Prime Minister on 16 March about Coronavirus, we have decided that the club is CLOSED until further notice – hopefully not too long. So all gigs are cancelled'' Piccadilly venue Crazy Coqs has also closed. ''All shows at Crazy Coqs in March and April have been cancelled due to current global circumstances. All shows from May will continue as planned for now.'' the venue indicates. Vortex, above. pic: marlbank

Festivals are also affected. This month's Bristol Jazz and Blues Festival is also off. The official festival announcement notes: ''It is with much regret that the producers of the Bristol International Jazz and Blues Festival have taken the decision to postpone the event. The restrictions of travel have already impacted on our artists, but more importantly we have a duty of care to our audiences and performers.''

• The weekly Monday jazz night at the Oxford pub in Kentish town the organisers say ''will be taking a pause for the foreseeable future.''
