The Ronnie Scott’s Story
About this event
Set amongst the dive bars and jazz jook joints of London’s Soho, we hear about the desperate hand-to-mouth finances of the early years and the frequent police raids. We hear how Ronnie’s became neutral ground within rife gang territory and their scrapes with gangsters including the Krays who were rumoured to have taken Ronnie and Pete “for a little drive”! Life at Ronnie’s is evocatively re-imagined through tales of the club’s past visitors, from pop stars, film stars and politicians to comedians and royalty, but above all, the musicians.
Hosted and performed by the award-winning Ronnie Scott’s All Stars, and featuring classic music from the jazz greats who have performed at Ronnie Scott’s, projected images and footage – alongside and tales of old Soho, miscreant musicians and police raids ‘The Ronnie Scott’s Story’ is a glimpse into this unique world and its incredible history.
