ANNA & JAGO LIVE

Join us for a cosy live gig in the lounge.

Anna Arbiter is a singer, writer and artist, often found exhibiting paintings or fronting various jazz and blues groups around London.

Guitarist Jago Furnas grew up locally and returns from gigging in Europe, the US and his adoptive home of South London to play a long-overdue hometown show.

Anna and Jago draw inspiration from the great guitar-vocal pairings such as Julie London and Barney Kessel or Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass to deliver an intimate, bluesy take on standards and Great American Songbook classics.

Doors will open at 7 pm, and the concert will start at 7:30 pm. Tickets start from £5, booking is open at ActOneCinema.co.uk

Say hello to our 3rd prize winner of the ActOne 100 Club!

American-born Catharine is a true local; she’s lived in the same place in Acton for 38 years with the same neighbour on both sides of her for just as long. She’s very involved in many good causes in the community, and it’s no surprise that she’s also one of our founder members. Another true cinephile with a staggering knowledge of even the most obscure films, who watches almost every single new release.
