The Vortex Downstairs - London - Photo album
Excellent venue for more interesting jazz (ie less of the easy-listening, cocktail bar-style jazz that you might find in some other venues), some of it of very high quality. There’s a very friendly, welcoming vibe.
The venue is not large, I guess it will squeeze in c.100 with 60-70 or so seated. Se
We had a great night at Vortex, with its well deserved reputation as the place to be for nonstandard / experimental jazz. Apparently the place was recently refurbished and the atmosphere is perfect - small and intimate but also dynamic and exciting with the vibe and line ups. The place pretty much
Maybe not quite the same vibe as the original in Stoke Newington but still well worth the effort for top notch and reasonably priced jazz. Team lovely as ever and bar prices reasonable. Branden Lewis Quartet delivered a top notch set
Here I listened to the highest quality of jazz. The music is super, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. I respect and love their attitude to provide such level of music and also invite the públic to actively play and sing. Warmly recomended.
Propa little Jazz club with no airs or graces, just great music and friendly locals.
One of the best at its kind!! Excellent live music, impro-freejazz and whatever it has the jazz feeling.
If you're looking for a cozy and intimate jazz bar that won't break the bank, Vortex is the place for you. This hidden gem in the heart of the city offers an impressive selection of talented jazz musicians, making it a must-visit spot for any jazz lover.
Upon entering the bar, you'll immediately no
Nice club in North London. A bit cramped, but the acoustics were OK. Good local vibe in the area outside with good options for casual food and drink. The drinks in Vortex were reasonably priced, but not the best. Run by volunteers, who were all passionate about the place. The main downside is t
Such a great night out tonight at Vortex, John Etheridge gtr with Ian Thomas dms and Jim Watson keys just blew us away with exquisite blues / jazz! And possibly the finest version of Little Wing ever played in there ... And the volunteer staff are to be highly commended indeed, a great venue, one of
a very unique Jazz club in Dalston. I Love it!
Only little problem: you cannot pay with the credit card at the bar.
I went to a small African jazz set by Cocco Mbasie amazing music great venue
A beautiful jazz space dedicated to the music, with good acoustics and a passionate audience. During our visit the AV equipment had some issues and the lighting was turned down only halfway though the performance. With better AV this would have been perfect.
Very simple jazz club with good bar run by great people, mainly volunteers who make miracles inviting great artists and fantastic audience - we had a great pleasure to enjoy Espen Eriksen Trio with Andy Sheppard live!
A North London Institution. Consistently great bookings. Decent acoustics. A labour of love by the volunteers who run it. Site of many great musical experiences for me. (Although I still miss the old site in Stoke Newington before shyster developers turfed them out and demolished the building).
We have been coming here fairly regularly for 8 years. By no means are we Jazz Savvy but we are in awe of talent and fascinated by extending the bounds of music to a width and breadth not previously imagined by us: and then we find both of those things covered here at the Vortex. There's no need to
Vortex refurbished! The stage area being against one long wall and seats now arranged in 3 rows around it gives a very intimate atmosphere. Gone are most of the little round cafe tables giving a much friendlier feel. Sound system upgraded at great expense - a worthwhile largesse but reflected in
A great venue, wonderful musicians, interesting outings for all unpretentious jazz lovers who value authentic music
experience.
We've spent an amazing evening here. Great music (Duncan Eagles Quartet), nice atmosphere, cheerful staff. Would love to return!
