From 2010-2016 “Under the Influence” ran at the Boogaloo in North London and become one of the Capital’s premier showcases for new artists.
We were featured as pick of the week in the Guardian Guide and had write ups in Time Out, The Metro and others.
There have been events dedicated to an eclectic range of artists and themes including Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, Nick Cave, Joni Mitchell, The Specials, Blondie, Jacques Brel, Pixies, Belle & Sebastian, Kate Bush, Prince, Terry Callier, Suede, Eurovision, Lost Bands of the 90s and more.
Events have taken place at a variety of venues including The Sebright Arms and The Royal Sovereign.
We have also taken the concept to two Festivals: The End Festival In Crouch End and the Great Escape Festival In Brighton where we dedicated the night to Billy Bragg (as he was headlining the Friday night) and he came along and joined the acts onstage.
We have also transposed the concept loosely to a semi-regular podcast, which features interviews and exclusive performances from guests.
