Within European Gypsy circles, Lollo Meier is now widely
recognised as the most lyrical acoustic guitarist of his
generation. His compositions are extraordinary, his technique
light and airy and full of phrasing. He performs with shy
confidence which is exactly how he leads his life. He's amazing
on stage, engaging and honest and audiences throughout Europe
love him.

The
Polish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith serves the entire
Polish Community in London by providing a wide spectrum
of cultural and artistic events for people of all ages.
It is the largest organization of its kind outside
Poland, and provides a variety of facilities for the
community including: theatre, art gallery, library,
bookshop, restaurant and café.
To fill a gap in our diverse musical programme and
broaden the scope of our musical offerings, we have now
established in the specially refurbished basement
premises a permanent venue to promote the cultural
traditions of Polish Jazz Music.
