LEBANESE MEZZE & CAFE Celebrate Christmas with ilili Lebanese Wine & Beer Up to 70 people, private function room Follow us @ilili<strong>Streatham</strong>
On a cold Monday evening there's no better refuge than the HIDEAWAY Jazz Club with its cool but cosy decor, attentive staff and hearty menu - we can personally vouch that their Rioja and sweet potato fries are a winning combination! As part of HIDEAWAY's 5th annual EFG London Jazz Festival series, our evening's entertainment was a break from routine for the HIDEAWAY, which usually hosts a salsa class, a walk-in jazz workshop and jam session on Mondays. Instead there were two vibrant jazz groups, both hailing from South London: The Expansions and The Hot Border Specials. The gig kicked off with 4 piece funk band The Expansions who crammed their 40 minute set with a range of 70's infused synthy tunes. Shea Matthews as guest singer with Eryka Badu-esque vocals came on and brought a new, mellow vibe to the band's sound. In an evening that was almost entirely instrumental, it was great to hear some silky smooth vocals take centre stage. Next to delight our ears was a The Hot Border Specials, who got us dancing in our seats with their energetic bongo drums. We particularly enjoyed their percussion-laced Michael Jackson 'Thriller' rendition. With their arresting energy it was hard to sit still, and come the end of the set (and an extra glass or two of Rioja) we were up on our feet dancing with the band's entourage. All in all a superb Monday evening's entertainment, even if we were a little worse for wear come Tuesday morning's alarm!
