London jazz concerts for teenagers

[MagdaMol]

Hi, we are visiting London next week and wondering if anyone can recommend any good venues for jazz evening concerts that are suitable for teenagers. We have a 15 year old who loves jazz music but most of the venues we know are for adults or over 16s. Does anyone know if there are any evening options for teenagers? We are staying in West London area but can travel into town. Thanks!

Have you looked at any of the pizza express all stars venues?

Thanks I'll look into that!

I was hoping to point you in the direction of Ronnie Scott's, as over 14s are allowed in under specific circumstances. I go to Ronnie Scott's myself now and then and enjoy it there very much.

Unfortunately, next week is the week when they are closed for refurbishment!

It could be a possibility for later in the year, though.

Ahhh that’s a shame about Ronnie Scott’s - I’ve only been a couple of times but they are the archetypal jazz club. Let me have a think.

Another vote for the Jazz cafe at Pizza express

Im going to add a couple of venues which might work

This is in Chelsea

This is another classic live music venue… not fancy and not specifically jazz but with a great pedigree.

For the future, he might like to follow the NYJO, OP.

Copied from another thread;

Ronnie Scotts allows 14 year olds in the main club as long as they're accompanied, are seated and dining, and leave by midnight. Very pricey though.

Or there's Pizza Express on Dean Street.

Or, for a rather more cramped experience, there's the Ain't Nothin' But the Blues Bar near Carnaby Street.

Ah, just seen Ronnie's is shut next week. That's a shame.
