Its historical importance combined with its focus on alternative music gives it a really distinctive vibe.”

“We are very privileged to be able to attract some of the biggest names in music,” says Daniel. “A lot of the artists that have played are amazed by the atmosphere of Roxy and, as we have such a strong name abroad, we see a lot of international musicians asking us if they can play here.”
