The spark ignites the flame, the fire feels warm… Will I ever find the words to explain just how I feel when the moon and sun lie side by side’ Estelle Kokot The song ‘African Sky’ http://www.londonmusicfund.org

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar music still playing in London this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (music) in London. Next dates first, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
