About this event
Set amongst the dive bars and jook-joints of London’s Soho, discover the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory, as well their scrapes with gangsters including the Krays – who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie Scott “for a little drive”! Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively reimagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians through to comedians and royalty – but above all, the musicians.
Featuring classic music from the jazz greats who have graced Ronnie Scott’s stage, alongside tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians, gangsters and police raids, this is an unforgettable celebration of one of the world’s most famous music venues, its remarkable history, and the music and artists who shaped its story.
Running time: approximately 2 hours including a 20 minute interval
