LIVE AT FLUTE WITH JOHNNIE WALKER
Who said you had to wait until Friday? This September, Live at Flute with Johnnie Walker brings five nights of live music to the rooftop, making a good case for staying out on a school night. From 2 September, a line-up of new and established voices will be joined by a different guitarist each night, with soul, jazz, R&B and plenty more carrying across the months. Johnnie Walker is taking care of the drinks too, with a menu curated especially for the series.
All sets 7.15–9.15pm.
