Gatsby's week

It’s been 100 years since The Great Gatsby first burst onto the scene, bringing the glamour, jazz, and reckless elegance of the Roaring Twenties to life. Now, a century later, Gatsby returns — not in West Egg, but deep in Soho. This June, we raise a glass to a jazz age that never died, with a week of shows inspired by the bootleg bars, bold brass, and brilliant excess of the 1920s.

Reingold has his sights on the smoked old fashioned at the Piano Bar while Myrtle is tearing it up at her London pad in Alfie’s.

The Spark

Wednesday 11 June kicks off at The Piano Bar Soho with The Bourbon Set — a stripped-back, moody trio led by Stuart Barker, pouring smooth swing into smoky glasses. On Thursday, Latin flair collides with Gatsby chic as Pablo Barrios brings Night in Havana to The Piano Bar: think rum, rhythm and piano fire. Meanwhile, over at Alfie’s, Soho icon Andy Davies sets the place ablaze with Brass & Bad Behaviour, a flapper-era blowout that channels full-throttle 1920s brass band chaos.

Gatsby's arrival
turns soho gold

By Friday, the mood gets deeper and darker. Gatsby’s Whiskey & Rouge lands at The Piano Bar with the magnetic Kitty LaRoar — drummer, singer, and queen of vintage cabaret. Just across Dean Street, Richard Hadfield leads The Crooner’s Club at Alfie’s, offering up tuxedoed charm, timeless ballads, and velvet vocals for Gatsby’s softer side. Two worlds, one era — elegance and indulgence under the same Soho sky.

The Riot Builds

Saturday 14 June doesn’t wind down — it explodes. Alfie’s hosts Uptown Affairs, with Louise Messenger lighting up the floor in a Harlem-style throwdown of sass, swing and big-stage energy. At The Piano Bar, Harry Ashworth leads The Speakeasy Set, a hard-grooving piano trio channeling underground energy and Gatsby’s rebel spirit. The bars are buzzing, the horns are hot — but the story doesn’t end there.

After Hours,
After Gatsby

Once the clocks strike late, The Riot Rooms take over — a hidden venue brought to life beneath the streets of Soho. Expect immersive theatre, Champagne-fuelled jazz, surprise sets and DJs ‘til the early hours. If Gatsby ever threw a party in London, this would be it.
