JAY-JAY JOHANSON, THE HORSE HOSPITAL BLOOMSBURY
This show takes place at “The Horse Hospital”, Bloomsbury, Colonnade, London, WC1N 1JD
Swedish cult icon Jay-Jay Johanson takes the stage for a very special evening, the 30th anniversary of his legendary debut album, Whiskey. A cornerstone of emotional electronica and European trip-hop, the record launched a singular career built on smoky jazz, electronic atmospheres, sophisticated pop, and Johanson’s unmistakably melancholic voice.
Recorded in the Stockholm archipelago with a Bristol trip-hop heartbeat, Whiskey became an instant classic. Tracks like “So Tell the Girls That I Am Back in Town” and “Believe in Us” introduced his signature sound film noir arrangements, jazzy crooner vocals, and a haunting elegance that made him one of the 1990s’ most unique voices. This one-night-only concert celebrates the album that started it all, along with a handpicked selection from his extraordinary career.
