Contact
Music-wise, Prulček launched its programme in 2013 with weekly jazz jams, a type of musical sociability that was until than rather lacking in Ljubljana. These evenings have slowly been extended over the whole week, and the programme started encompassing other musical styles as well, regularely hosting ethno musicians and being very open to blues, rock, free improvisation, pop and other genres. Alongside these, there are biweekly art exhibitions, workshops, lectures and also evenings with films, made by the student at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television (AGRFT).
There are some bands that were some sort of resident musicians at the bar, like for example Brencl Banda, and there also local jazz musicians who keep returning, in one guise or another, to the stage of Prulček, such as Cene Resnik, Jani Moder, Nikola Matošič (the programme selector), Peter Ugrin, Jure Pukl, etc. The various other bands one could mention are Brina, Moonlight Sky, Rok Zalokar Trio, Samo Gromofon, Big Band Krško, Nina Strnad Kvartet, All Strings Detached, etc.
Festival programme
Prulček also produces its own festivals, which sort of condense and focus the bar's usual programme. There is a jazz festival in autumn (held since 2013), a folk music one in winter (first organised in 2015) and a spring one, which is musically more varied. These festivals offer a select choice of artists, bringing a number of foreign bands and musicians, such as for example the legendary USA drummer Doug Hammond.
A part of the festival programme has also been held at the premises of the neighbouring Dance Theatre Ljubljana, which offers a slightly more solemn setting for the more intimate musical performances.
