This is a little pearl of Dalston, and a must visit for any music lover. My favourite events are the Jam Sessions, where local art musicians can perform together with established jazz bands in exiting performances, delighting spectators with the magic of Jazz. Wednesday evenings are free (and generally with a bit smaller crowd), while Sunday evenings are paid (£6 at the time of this review), and are a bit bigger. I highly recommend it.
