I was asked to do a warm up set for the launch of the outdoor film season of Last Night in Soho at the Luna Outdoor cinema.
I was only meant to do an hour but of course in preparing I ended up on a deep journey back into the Soho of sixties London – all cool jazz – cool places – and cool clothes…
…so I made a mixtape to share and gathered some ephemera for this blog post.
