COAST TO COAST London. A world city recognised for its revolutionary fashion, groundbreaking art and most of all, as a melting pot of international music and club culture. By the 1950s and 60s London clubs had taken on new life and acquired international mystique. The Flamingo, The Scene Club, Ronnie Scott's, the Scotch of St.James and Count Suckle's Blues Party were the only places to be seen for the nouveau-riche of the swinging sixties. As well as the soul, ska, blues, rock and roll of the various, and now legendary, clubs there was gambling and all manner of entertainment to be had at the drop of a hat. In the mid-1960s there was nowhere to compare to London after dark.With tougher gambling laws, crackdowns on unregistered venues and strict licensing laws the hey-day of London nightlife may have passed in our opinion but the spirit of the city lives on. The spirit of the great clubs and cellar dives can still be found at certain venues around the metropolis even now.Part West-Indian blues party, part 60s Soul night. DJ Cello's Coast to Coast is the new scene in London. Whether you are visiting London for the weekend or living and working in the Smoke, Coast to Coast is the main event in Town at this time.
