Sky News<\/a> that the opening of its planned European flagship venue may not be viable without a late license. \u201cIf they\u2019re not giving us a late license, I can\u2019t imagine how they would be supportive of other smaller venues, which are important for the ecosystem in general.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tHowever the Westminster City Council has since reversed its opposition and said that the \u201cvenue management have engaged extensively with local people to improve their application and address the concerns that were raised by the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe venue will be based in the basement of the St Martins Lane hotel in Covent Garden in central London. The license will allow the club to open until 1 a.m. on Monday to Saturday, to midnight on Sundays.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Blue Note Jazz Club will host two performance spaces: a main room with 250 person capacity, alongside a secondary 100 person capacity space. The venue will host a full-service kitchen and beverage menu and will be open for dinner throughout the week.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe new venue will continue the expansion of Blue Note Jazz Clubs internationally. The original club in New York City was opened in 1981, and new venues have since opened in Milan, Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro and S\u00e3o Paulo. Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Ezra Collective and more have all performed at the club and its sister institutions.<\/p>\n
\n\tSteven Bensusan, president of Blue Note Entertainment Group said in a statement, \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be coming to London and grateful to Westminster Council for recognising what Blue Note can bring to the city\u2019s nightlife. As we prepare to open in early 2026, we\u2019re looking forward to bringing world-class jazz and a deep cultural legacy to one of the greatest music cities in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blue Note Jazz Club has confirmed that plans to open a new venue in London, England will proceed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[39110,748,393,39111,4884,257,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-80447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-billboard-uk","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-genre-jazz","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114463644364932522","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
