Ginger Johnson: Show Pony

Ginger Johnson, the Nigerian percussionist and bandleader who was a central figure in London's 1960s music scene, is the subject of this special event. Johnson, known for his vibrant African rhythms blended with jazz, performed with legends like the Rolling Stones and Quincy Jones, and his band, the African Messengers, helped introduce African music to British audiences.

Attendees can expect an evening of infectious rhythms and melodies that Johnson originally brought to life. The show will likely feature recordings or performances that capture the energy of his 1967 album 'African Party' and his iconic appearances at events like the first Notting Hill Carnival and the 1969 Stones in the Park. It's a chance to experience the music that made Johnson a beloved figure in the counter-culture movement.
