A little New York nostalgia in the Tiny Room. 🎶🖤⁠

Thursday night, Margaret O’Hanlon and Martin Grounds took us inside the legendary Chelsea Hotel, revisiting the music, stories and extraordinary characters who once called it home.⁠

Joined by Alex Pyle, Martin Rylev, David Amorim and Leo McMenamin, it was an incredible evening of music, storytelling and a little rock ’n’ roll history.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Blue Door.⁠
⁠
Next week, we're turning up the volume! 🎸 Dini LaGosse brings Every Rose Has Its Thorn to the Tiny Room on Thursday 15 October, celebrating the big hair, guitar solos and power ballads of the 80s.⁠

What a night at The Blue Door. 💙🎶⁠
⁠
Pol Nicholson brought A Certain Unknown to the Tiny Room last night - an evening of original music, personal stories, plenty of laughs and, as promised, a little oversharing.⁠
⁠
Joined by Masa Nakazawa, Kavan Nayer, Thom Bentley and Martin Roy Guy, Pol took us through the moments, people and experiences that have shaped his life and his music.⁠
⁠
A brilliant evening of storytelling, musicianship and everything we love about seeing live music in a room this intimate.⁠
