Was it all just a dream?

Swing Through The Looking glass is a night of excellent jazz music, cocktails, socialising, and the occasional swing dance or two.

It was born out of my desire for a night which gathered the most inspiring jazz musicians and dancers under the same roof.

The night is hosted at The Looking Glass Cocktail Club, a very charming speakeasy which makes the night more special by granting a cozy and atmospheric vibe.

After two very successful editions with Adrian Cox and Giacomo Smith, I’m proud to invite another great horn player and dancers favourite: Duncan Hemstock (and his all stars of course).

Duncan discovered his love for the clarinet at the age of 12, when his mom gave him a Benny Goodman’s cassette. Since then, he pursued his love for jazz by studying with some of the best clarinet players like Andy Firth, who was a source of inspiration. He now lives in London but performs all over the world with some of the most renown bands who play for dancers such as Gordon Webster, Naomi Uyama, Pete Long, the Shirt Tail stompers and others. Duncan also happens to be a crowd entertainer, so get ready for some fun!

Tickets are 10 only and sold out within 24 hours last time.

After the first successful edition with Adrian Cox, I am again proud of being able to host another amazing artist: Giacomo Smith, and his quartet.

You can probably find Giacomo all over the internet, sharing the stage with Wynton Marsalis and co-founding one of the best jazz bars in the world, Kanas Smittys, which served as a personal big inspiration for this night.

SIGN UP BELOW TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEXT EVENT

Last week I went to see Adrian Cox at Kansas Smittys and I thought to myself: “this really makes me want to move. Oh, if only there was just a bit more space down at Smittys!”

In my head, I've been dreaming of a place where I could listen to great live music, occasionally dance to it, and also get myself a drink with my favorite people.

So I decided to "create that space": Looking Glass Cocktail Bar in Shoreditch is confirmed for a one off trial and we’ve managed to secure the wonderful Adrian Cox with his quartet! If the first event works out, the idea is to turn it into a regular monthly event, with some of London’s finest jazz musicians.

The space isn't massive, so there will only be 35 tickets for sale online at the special opening price of 10 GBP. A few more tickets may be released closer to the date, and we may reserve some at the door.

If you’ve been dreaming of the same space, grab yourself a ticket now!
