Patsy Craig and Zhenya Strigalev of T WO Music at Charlie Wright’s in Pitfield Street are among the most innovative and consistent promoters in London.
They have a festival at Charlie Wright’s in Pitfield Street Shoreditch, on from June 4th to June 7th. Top of the bill is the Parisian band of 24 year old bassist Hadrien Feraud (above) playing for two nights. In fact bassists figure big-time here.
And if you’re into tortuous tangents and non-sequiturs……..I have taken the trouble to find out how the Festival got its name. By request this one…
