Better Bankside's Get the Buzz events started with a buzz with the first Bankside Night at Bar Blue on Wednesday 2nd July. British vocalist Zena James, packed out a normally quiet Wednesday night at Bar Blue, giving a soulful and bluesy rendition of popular standards and lesser-known jazz gems accompanied by keyboard and bass.

 

 

 

If you missed this first event, don't fret. There are still ten more Bankside Nights to look forward to.  On 9th July, Tangent Eye will be combining funk, jazz, rock, reggae and more at Brew Wharf and on 16th July you can enjoy an evening of live opera at new Italian restaurant and bar Viva Verdi on Canvey Street.  For a full list of events, download BB's Get the Buzz guide here.

 

 Better Bankside's summer events also include a series of guided walks in Bankside in July, open-air body combat sessions starting on 26th July at 8am and a week-long boules tournament in September, both supported by the new Bankside Health Club in the Blue Fin Building on Southwark Street.
