So we’re halfway through summer and we’ve finally got some sun, but more importantly (we think as you’re on this site), it’s the start of August and we’ve got not four but FIVE shows for you this month.
We thank everyone who’s dropped in to check one of our regular Jazz Meet Live events at The Shoreditch so far and they continue to bubble along nicely. If you haven’t reached yet, make sure to check and subscribe to our Jazz Meet Youtube channel to see what you’ve been missing. In August, we take a break from the usual guest band shenanigans to do something very close to our heart. On Sunday August 21st, we’re holding a special Cancer Benefit for our friends who are no longer with us. All proceeds from the day (including band and DJ fees) will be donated to the MacMillan Cancer Support. We’re currently busily assembling a killer DJ lineup (More info near the time) to complement a specially assembled Jazz Meet Allstars band line up and it would be great if you’re around and about if you could show your support in one way or another (Online love to spread the word is much appreciated also) .
Otherwise it’s business as usual at The Meet as we curate three other live jazz sessions at The Shoreditch and a very special midweek Latin throwdown with the Afro Latin band of now (and they of the impressively long name), Caractacus the Conga Conqueror and the Afro Latin Ensemble (peep a few videos from their lastest Shoreditch appearance here) at one of our favourite London haunts, Favela Chic London on Tuesday 16th August.
Full details below. We hope you can make it.
