Hey everyone! It's Avneet again and this time on a video about live music in London
I have always loved live music and I think I realized that when I started uni back home in
Seattle, Washington. So we're getting ready to go to our first gig which is part of Sofar Sounds.
Sofar sounds is a music platform that operates in hundreds of different cities all around the world
from Shanghai to San Francisco, LA and Seattle and they also have a branch here in London. The
cool and exciting thing about Sofar sounds that makes it so special and unique from everything
else is that these shows are a secret. Actually you don't find out the address until 24 hours
before and you only figure out who the performers are once you get there. They give you the general
idea of what part of London it's going to be in so you can plan accordingly. I just got
our email yesterday morning and Claudia and I, my beautiful flatmate who you met in my first video
are headed off to our Sofar sounds concert. I hope you enjoy tagging along with us.
Okay so we just got off the tube station. It's just the two of us in a very very dark alley
but that's okay. Um and so now we're walking just a little bit to get to our secret venue.
Alright so Claudia and I made it to Mansion House as you can see here we are making our
way into the gorgeous venue hosted by Sofar sounds. At this point we figured out there were
going to be three artists and you know the thing about these venues is they're usually so small
and really community oriented. As you can see tons of people came out to listen to the music.
But this is the sign it took me a lot of years to design
Hey everyone so we just left our secret concert venue and it was such a wonderful experience.
It was in this really cool coffee shop slash
workspace right by the river, right by the millennium bridge
and we saw three wonderful artists that I can't wait to tell you guys about it.
Thank you guys so much for joining Claudia and I on our trip to Mansion House for our
Sofar sounds concert. As you can see the artists were wonderful: we had a flamenco
slash spanish guitar player who was phenomenal. There was also a folk country singer whose
voice was just beautiful and of course there was the very last performance which was by an RNB
singer. I really urge you guys to look this company up um take a peek and see if there are
any fun cool shows that you'd enjoy going to. It's really a wonderful experience and you do
feel so connected to the city and to the people who live in it. Alright! Until next time!
