It’s difficult to say what one loves the most when living in London. It doesn’t matter where one goes, or what one does, it seems that a huge amount of people have done it before, better, for longer and have the best reviews already in place.
However, if one looks well enough, with the right eyes and attitude, those semi hidden spots appear right in front to marvel us, in one way or another.
In my case, the less known music venues are my fetish. Be it dark music and goth-like deco style, hippy-go-happy colourful walls and vibrant wind instruments. Name it, and I’ll be most likely enjoying it.
What brought me here to write about is something similar. There was a small venue in East London called Jamboree, located in a yard neighbouring a film studio, bringing traditional jazz, folk from all around Europe and occasionally events and shows mixing music and circus alike performances. It was a delight to pass by every week. Few months ago, though, had to close down its gates.
But real stories sometimes have a happy ending, and just by the end of 2018 Jamboree managed to re-open the doors once more! What a surprise and good addition to the much needed music scene -this depends on music taste of the individuals- of London.
I wanted to share this post in case someone can discover such venue for first time and experience the same things I did few years ago… And hopefully that someone can share their experience with even more people.
Enjoy!
