I’m a huge fan of jazz, especially female jazz singers like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Melody Gardot, and Norah Jones.
A couple of weeks ago, I finally experienced an unforgettable evening at the 606 Jazz Club in Chelsea and discovered the stunning voice of Acantha Lang.
Today, DOYOUSPEAKLONDON invites you to explore this incredible venue and its talented artists!
The 606 Jazz Club
The 606 Club has been a beloved jazz venue for over 30 years, run by musician Steve Rubie since 1976. Originally a cosy 30-seater basement on Kings Road, it quickly gained a reputation as the ultimate jazz hangout during the ’70s and ’80s.
Now located in Chelsea, the venue continues its legacy, supporting British-based musicians and offering unforgettable live performances.
The 606 Club offers live jazz every night of the week, paired with fantastic food. From starters to desserts, everything we tried was delicious – gourmet lovers will definitely enjoy it!
We came on a Friday night to listen to Acantha Lang and the room was full of Jazz lovers, many of them were members of the Club. We could obviously feel the good vibes and it was an awesome night!
Acantha Lang
We had heard of Acantha’s former successful performances and knew that some famous personalities had already been touched by her voice…
Acantha Lang was born and raised in New Orleans and no doubt she’s “got the blues in her bones” ! Acantha’s unleashed energy and joy on stage is very contagious: the audience truly exploded with delight!
Acantha’s incredible voice is just part of the magic – her ability to bring together top musicians, united by their passion for music, creates an unforgettable vibe. The joy was truly palpable, both on stage and off, with the guitarist radiating team spirit throughout!
Acantha Lang has already performed in various shows in New York and London, and made her name on the international jazz scene. She is currently working on her first EP Album in London.
We were thrilled to meet and hear Acantha Lang perform. Wishing her all the best for the future, and we’ll definitely be keeping an eye on her schedule to catch her next show!

Cette belle plante , pardon cette belle Acanthe, va certainement grimper et prospérer dans le monde musical. Sa voix magnifique et son bonheur de chanter donnent le pèche. Quelle bonne idée de nous avoir présenté ce club vivant et sympathique.
Merci Myriam pour ce beau retour!
606 has definitely got very good bands on show and even if less central, is as worth visiting as Ronny Scott
Many thanks Rick!
