The new MOVING HEAD LIGHTS and LED effect lighting along with a new Pearl Tiger console will be in place hopefully by the start of September.

In April 2007, 229 was launched as a dedicated live music and entertainments venue. As a result there has been an overwhelming response from all sections of the music industry and the general public. Aided by Club Fandango’s regular midweek events in Venue 2, championing new talent and some judiciously chosen sell out shows in V1, including Razorlight, Gnarls Barkley, Primal Scream, Biffy Clyro, The Twang and The Duke Spirit, 229 has established itself on the ferociously competitive London venue scene. This has led to virtually all the leading independent and national promoters hosting shows in the venue and booking future dates.Major technical improvements have been made to the two room, 760 capacity venue including the installation of new live PA systems in both Venue 1 (620 capacity) and Venue 2 (140 pax). In addition £40k has just been spent on new lighting in both rooms. Both V1 & V2 can run independently or as a package.Our location in Central London, excellent sound and production facilities make 229 one of the leading small - medium sized venues in the UK. Some of the artists who have played to date include: The Twang, Biffy Clyro, Razorlight, Maps, British Sea Power, Good Books, Electric Soft Parade, Tunng, St Vincent, The Archie Bronson Outfit, The Rakes, Cajun Dance Party, Eighties Matchbox B Line Disaster, Look See Proof, The Duke Spirit, Foals, Ida Maria, The Raveonettes, Gnarls Barkley and Primal Scream…… see our “Past Gigs” section for more.Some of our customers include:Live Nation| XFM radio | SJM Concerts | Metropolis Music | Eat Your Own Ears | Club Fandango | Coda AgencyCake Media |Five Families |New Untouchables |Unlimited Media | Prince’s Trust | Virgin Media | BMI | ITB | LoveboxEMI
