About
Fast becoming North London’s premier acoustic night, “Under the Influence” @ the Boogaloo has really taken off in the last six months.
Essentially it’s a showcase for talented new songwriters to perform their own songs, yet there is a twist. Each month, every act that performs, plays two of their own songs and one cover version by the featured artist of the month.
Perform
If you are interested in performing at an Under The Influence Night, we would love to hear from you.
