The Kalamazoo Klub · London

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Kalamazoo Klub was started sixteen years ago by two local musicians, Paul Alcantara and Guy Simpson. They had been playing in folk and acoustic clubs in London and the South East for years and decided that North London needed a music venue that would bring top quality, live acoustic artists to the area from all genres of music.

The Kalamazoo Klub has, in the years since, attracted some of the most famous names in acoustic music, from Bert Jansch who was the first artist to appear, Martin Carthy, Robin Williamson and John Kirkpatrick through to more diverse artists from the worlds of folk, celtic music, Blues, flamenco, Country and even Chinese classical music.

We have guest singers and groups from all over the country and try to cover the many styles and types of music that over the years have become part of the folk scene. The club has a friendly informal atmosphere in which local people can have the opportunity to get up in front of an audience and experience the fun and nerves, of a live performance.
