Hi, I'm Chris - a lifelong Londoner and musician. I play drums from a very young age and have always been immersed in jazz and surrounded by musicians - on my spare time, I still gig around London. I’ve made the long spiritual journey down the North Circular – from Enfield and Southgate to Ealing and Twickenham with intervening years in Greenwich, Notting Hill and Chelsea.
The experience
Join me on this experience, where we'll explore nearly 100 years of jazz history, looking at the clubs, bars and dens dotted around Soho's streets and alleyways where jazz developed, from the arrival of the first Americans in 1919 through to the contemporary scene.
We'll stop at many of the sites of legendary London clubs and venues, which are all around Soho. We’ll finish at one of my favourite pubs for a well-deserved pint.
