SJQ unplugged with Simone Salvatici + Clive Bell

We’re excited to unveil our newly upgraded audio inclusive space !

Our venue was shortlisted as one of four Hackney grassroots music venues to be upgraded as part of an initiative to make Hackney the first audio inclusive borough. Now, those of you in our community who are sensitive to noise can comfortably enjoy our space and our live music events.

Thanks to Marion Marincat, a noise sensitive Hackney resident, and his company Sownd Affects The upgrade has been funded by the Arts Council England and facilitated by Oscar Acoustics.
