Swingin' in Soho hands Alfie's grand piano to Nico Widdowson, the Evening Standards co-founder whose playing joins classic jazz feel with a modern edge. Two candlelit houses above Greek Street on a Saturday night. Direct booking and over-18s. Arrive early, the bar rewards it.
Alfie's is a candlelit jazz bar above Greek Street where the tables sit close enough to the stage that you can hear the band talking between numbers. A grand piano anchors the room and the cocktails are taken as seriously as the music.
Nico Widdowson is a jazz pianist who has become a regular at London's leading jazz venues. His playing combines traditional jazz elements with a contemporary approach, and he is known for his work leading the Evening Standards project alongside Andy Davies. He performs regularly at Soho Live Music Club venues.
