Kasim Sulton

There's a small venue in Denmark street London called the “12 Bar Club”

It’s a bit shabby, so no black tie and dinner jacket, but this ads to the ambiance. In here for a modest entry fee of £6 upwards (depends who is on, day of week and other unspecified variables) you’ll usually get to see three or four musical acts.

To give you a sense of size, if you stand at the back down stairs you can’t see the top half of the act. Up stairs at the back and you can’t see the bottom half of the act. But I digress…

If you like music in a broad sense at least one of the acts will meet your needs and most of the time all the performances will have some merit. On Tuesday 8 July two mates and I went there expecting to see the usual trilogy of acts while we downed several beers.

A pleasant surprise when Kasim Sulton came on as the second act. Why wasn’t he headlining? A good question – he had been in Nottingham touring with Meat Loaf and had driven down in a hire care to do his first solo London gig. He had to drive back to Nottingham that night.



So, to a massive crowd (about 25 people) Kasim gave this excellent personal concert. I’ve had some good nights out at the 12 Bar Club and this is one of the best.

Thank you Kasim.
