Party on the "beach". Un hasta pronto para DJ Johnny...

Nothing better than spending the evening on the beach in a warm night in summer! Well, the lack of beaches in London does not halt my very good friend Johnny, DJ and PR, from having the best farewell party at the riverside in the London's South Bank.

We actually had to wait two hours for low-tide but then was all about music, drinks and partying.

The parties organised by Johnny are not just about music and the best DJs in town, but also about art and diversity. So, once again, we had a great and even more special and happy time...

Este domingo pudimos, por una vez (y por favor que siente precedente), disfrutar de lo más parecido a la playa que puede tener esta maravilla de ciudad. Bajo el Festival Pier, en una ya no tan rara, muy cálida, noche de verano, tenía lugar una fiesta única, la despedida (temporal, breve) de Johnny, brasileño, DJ, Relaciones Públicas, un tesoro. Dos horas tuvimos que esperar para que la marea dejara espacio a la música, las cervecitas y hasta las exposiciones fotográficas. Y es que estas fiestas van más allá de la música, son también ventana a lo multicultural y al arte.

In London... They say it'd be the last warm day of the summer

South bank again… Well, we were enjoying a 30 Celsius and the news said that it was the last day of the summer… The National theatre has great terraces, an enjoyable bar and lovely views, along with these folding chairs, which everyone can use for free (not so in Green, Hyde, or whichever other park around London).

The Southbank centre offers a wide range of activities

Who says that London hasn't got a beach...

They said it would be the last sunny, warm day of the summer… I didn’t believe it…

Jazz is all around

Jazz is always beyond of what we might think. Whether you love it or not, jazz festivals have been the star of this summer. This has been my week of events: Last Wednesday, at the Café in the Crypt (St. Martin in the Fields), where I enjoyed a lovely dinner with my friends and we had the best time, dancing while listening to Fabulations. The atmosphere was superb!

And just two days later I found myself in Canada Square having a great evening with Omar Puente and his band. The sounds from Cuba and its Guantanamera made the audience go salsa!
