It’s thrilling and heartwarming to come together in intimate spaces, celebrating jazz and discovering extraordinary talent. Soho’s Jazz Week is always a lively, unforgettable experience, the perfect opportunity to explore some of the city’s most incredible venues. Here’s why you can’t miss Soho Live Jazz Week and why supporting the jazz scene is so important!
Today, DOYOUSPEAKLONDON invites you to an unmissable annual celebration for jazz lovers and musicians, proudly hosted by the iconic Soho Live Jazz Club.
Soho Live Jazz Week
This year marked the 6th edition of this Soho jazz festival, produced by the passionate Nathan Britton & George Hudson.
At the heart of this festival are “a collection of venues and artists championing live entertainment and collaboration within Soho’s diverse melting pot of characters, art and history.”
This week offers just a glimpse of what to expect during this exciting festival: welcoming venues (including comfy benches!), talented musicians, lively atmosphere, and unforgettable performances across three days in September. A must for any jazz enthusiast!
I’m always moved by the warmth and energy live concerts bring. Music really is a powerful force, isn’t it?
Soho Live Music Club
The past few years have challenged all jazz venues, prompting some places in Soho* to unite in support of live music. The new Soho Live Music Club was created “to provide new stages and performance opportunities for artists” and allow jazz lovers to encourage them.

By attending live performances, we not only enjoy the moment but actively support Soho’s creative music legacy.
The idea behind Soho Live Jazz Week is to highlight the venues dedicated to jazz in Soho. I’ve discovered several new places recently that I’m eager to explore.
I warmly encourage you to check online for upcoming events at these venues and make the most of Soho’s vibrant jazz scene!
Karma Sanctum Soho Hotel
This is one of the venues hosting live jazz during Soho Live Jazz Week. We arrived full of excitement, ready to discover a renowned jazz singer…
It was my first visit! The ground floor features a stylish bar with celebrity portraits, and the comfortable seating creates a relaxed vibe perfect for unwinding.

Big Mama (Aydenne Simone)
She’s truly one-of-a-kind! Bursting with joy, she embodies the spirit of jazz and conveys every emotion in her performance effortlessly.
Despite a minor struggle with the stairs before performing, the moment she heard the first notes, she became unstoppable. Jazz empowered her to overcome any challenge. Big Mama is a force of nature on stage!
Her deep respect for the musicians she performs with was evident. Even without knowing them well, she acknowledged their talent, creating a warm and collaborative atmosphere. Her considerate approach was touching.
Now you have two options: wait for next September’s Soho Live Jazz Week, or dive into the venues right away, creating unforgettable experiences while cheering on talented musicians. Personally, I’m far too eager to wait!
A huge thank you to Soho Live Jazz Week for the invitation! I had an absolute blast! Looking forward to the next edition already!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this post and feel inspired. If you plan to book a live concert at one of these venues soon, please share your experience on DOYOUSPEAKLONDON!
