Honest note
This is a preview of the kind of night venues and hosts will list. It is not on sale. There is no checkout here. Join Side A now, and when a host in London opens a door you can ask for a seat. If this is your living room, apply to host.

Leo B.
Mondays at a Hackney listening bar. Late. Small. The whole record. Editorial host — a portrait of the person who would list this room, not a confirmed booking.
Leo takes a few hours of a listening bar's programming and splits the door with the bar. The bar sells its own drinks; Side A lists the night and takes 18% of paid seats. Ways to host →
↳ Pure Listen
Full album. No talking on side A.
We listen to the full album together — silence on side A, conversation between sides, reflection after. Jazz kissa style. Phones face-down. Arrive, settle in, listen. The host drops the needle. Side A plays through. Then a short break — drinks, stretch, a few words. Then side B. Then open discussion.
