dancingthrulife Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 OMG guys - well firstly Hiya! I am new this site but loving the chance to chat to lots of different ppl about one of my biggest passions - music (the other one being dancing in case you hadn't guessed lol ;-) )! Does Anyone in the uk know of any good places to go for good music in and around london - as I've just finished uni up north so haven't really been out much in this area which I'm pretty new to! (the only one I know of is Ronnie Scotts! lol) Also in exchange for this piece of info for anyone that is from south of england and london areas I have just found out about a specialist NYE party in Chelsea - it looks awesome, they're calling it a swing and champagne night but there is supposed to be lots of live music with a swing band, dj and most importantly the JAZZ CANNONS! (gotta love em!) it looks like a stylish party and should be a laugh so i'm being a good samaritan here and spreading forth the word! there is detailed info about it on the company's website zealevents.co.uk i think...if not google search it or something and it'll probably come up...but just thought some one out there might be interested in this not just me haha... Hope to hear from any of you in the uk with your reccomendations....thanks! dancingthrulife xx P.S. apologies for uploading the banner but I love it it's so pretty! haha Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted December 5, 2007 Report Posted December 5, 2007 Shame on anyone who charges £185 to hear music. Wouldn't expect to hear much jazz from the Jazz Cannons - they appear to be a function band... As for other places in London? Not Ronnie's. They've sold out a while back, so it's only really a place for suits now. The VERY VERY occasional thing worth hearing, but their admission charges are an absolute disgrace. Depends on what you want to hear, otherwise...the Vortex has a great programme, often of more interesting stuff than elsewhere. The Red Rose is the home of experimental music in London - often great 'free jazz' (for want of a less clumsy label) to be heard there. The Jazz Cafe occasionally has good things, but is also shamefully expensive. Big events - well, the South Bank and Barbican have interesting things from time to time. Quote
