Here is the story of Troy Bar in Hoxton, London so far. It books soul, funk and jazz acts. It has live music 1 night a week.
Troy Bar is a grassroots music venue in Hoxton, London. It books Soul, Funk, Jazz, Folk.
Listing notesTroy Bar is one of Hoxton's best-loved spots for live music and intimate club nights, at 10 Hoxton Street, London (N1 6NG). Across the week it showcases Soul, Funk, Folk and Jazz, including a well-known jazz-funk jam session on Fridays, with Caribbean food served alongside. Its centrepiece is the Tuesday 'Spirit & Soul' live open mic, every Tuesday 8pm to 12:30am, hosted by Hannah Khemoh with Oscar Stieler on keys and a full house band of seasoned musicians plus backing vocalists. Rather than a bring-your-own-gear mic, singers sign up to perform with the full backing band — drums, guitar, bass and mics are all set up and run by the house engineer, so it plays more like a soul revue than a typical pub open mic. London open-mic crowds here listen attentively; the night suits vocalists and instrumentalists comfortable sitting in with a band.
