What to wear to a gig?

I go to see a lot of bands but its usually in stadiums or arenas. This up and coming in gig is in the Jazz Cafe in Camden. Is that a cool venue? I'm not cool!! I want to be comfy and not wear something that could potentially end up ruined with spilled drinks. So I dont have a clue what to wear!! I dont really have a certain style either. I have a white tshirt with embellished sleeves and I was thinking of that with jeans and Supergas?

Ooh, I haven’t been there for a while, I used to enjoy seeing live music there. I don’t know if it’s changed much but I remember it as fairly small, I’d wear pretty much what I’d wear to a nice pub (as opposed to my scruffy local) and comfortable footwear always and a crossbody bag to keep my hands free and not worry about my belongings.

Who are you seeing? The style of band might make a difference I guess.

It's a guy called Kelly Finnigan. He plays soul and funk. Definitely using a cross over bag. We're coming down from Glasgow for it so need to really be sure of what to wear as I'll be taking hand luggage only.

I just listened to him on YouTube 👍
I’m not actually sure you can wear jeans there but I don’t know how strict they are, the FAQs say black jeans are ok so you probably should play safe and you’ll want to dance so comfortable is a must. . It always a quite civilised place when I used to go, couple of drinks, a meal then music. It was never an intimidatingly hip kind of place, nice but not scary cool. I always felt perfectly at home and I’m not cool!

Oh sugar!! My partner only wears jeans! I'll need to let him know. I didn't even think of a dress code tbh. Time to rethink what to wear. I like places that aren't scary cool!

Actually you might want to check that with a quick call or via Facebook I just realised it’s the jazz cafe Reading with a dress code. Camden doesn’t say. Doh! Probably still worth checking

Aww i looked up the same website after you mentioned a dress code and didn't notice either it was Reading! Ok well I'll drop them an email but think ill wear black jeans and this top (with a slip under it!) And flat pointed black boots. Comfy but not casual (my kitten was checking it out!)
