From the minds behind BackStage Live which sadly closed last year, 1563 at the East is an ambitious, 6,000 square foot space purpose built for live music. As such, they’re no mugs when it comes to putting a gig on. You’re in for a treat most nights but our pick of the weekly bunch is their Wild Wild West night every Wednesday, a kaleidoscopic, river-boat journey of live music that takes in folk, rock, jazz, funk, R&B, soul, latin and reggae (and everything inbetween). Very cool.
