The Late Late Show

Ronnie Scott's pulls in UK jazz musicians who take these late sessions seriously. The sets range from jazz-funk to soul, R&B and hip hop, so it swings between styles across the night. DJs set the pace before and after the live slots.

This is a full commitment: you're in from 11:15pm through to 3am. But that's what makes it work. The musicians get space to actually play, not squeeze three hits in and leave. It's for people who want live music at its best, not background atmosphere. Expect the room to shift as the night goes on.
