New Beginnings: London Charm and the 7C Alliance
Oct 23, 2010 Music, Performance Spaces, World
Back in 2007, following a social networking event organised by the 7C Alliance at The Prince Albert – a bar in London’s Notting Hill, a few of the people stayed on at the pub afterwards and met some people who were wanting to have a good night out together where they could discover the tucked away and hard to find corners in London for good live music – but did not know where to start. From that chat, the idea for a new online networking group to discover that, London Charm, was born.
Members of the 7C Alliance firstly set up a simple web-site (created by Steve Foster) and, later, a Facebook Group was created with help of Patrick Whelan and several others
Now, with 7C Alliance being a UK-wide online networking group and London Charm having had people from across London interested to meet up together to see great unsigned acts, we thought it was time to try and bring those groups together again to see one of the acts discovered through London Charm at the home of London Charm, The Tabernacle.
However where do these two groups want to go from here? We have reserved the Conservatory at The Tabernacle on Thursday, 11th November for us to come together and discover what each other has to offer – and celebrate new beginnings with music from “New Day“, the new album by Milli Moonstone, one of the acts discovered by members of the London Charm social network.
We look forward to seeing you there! Tickets are £15/head and include price of canapes and performer. They can be bought online at http://www.wegottickets.com/event/97497
Please note that numbers of tickets are strictly limited to 50 – and so please get in quick to not miss out!

A Few Good Gigs to Start 2010
Jan 30, 2010 Music, Uncategorized
Here’s a few good gigs that London Charm consider sounds good for starting off with in 2010, as (largely) suggested by some of the members of the Secret London Group on Facebook:
Saturday, Feb 6th, The Standards,
Indie / Acoustic /Rock – with just a touch of The Smiths perhaps -playing @ Camden Barfly, 20:00, with Hoodlums
49 Chalk Farm Rd, London, NW1 8AN Cost: £5
Wednesday, Feb 17th, WE ROCK LIKE GIRLS DON’T,
heavy metal and hard rock (with heart?), headlining NEW HEAVY SOUNDS @ The Gaff, 382 Holloway Rd, N7
Friday, Feb 26th, The Grand Majestic,
big band funk and jazz all the way from Brighton, playing at
Underbelly, 11 Hoxton Square, N1 6NU on Feb 26th
Saturday, Mar 6th, the Jim Jims ,
Jazz/Acoustic group with a folksy French twist, playing at 20:00 @ The Good Ship, Kilburn, 89 Kilburn High Road, London, NW6 7JR
(Ed. Note: this gig has replaced BetaRays at Barfly – due to report of poor quality venue management at Barfly for gig on February 6th. This is no reflection on BetaRays – who we hope to see at another venue at a later date)
Monday, Mar 26th, Phoenix Williams,
Indie / Acoustic / Rock, playing at 20:00 @ Source Below,
78 Brewer Street , Soho, London, W1F 9TY. Cost: £6
