Rock the Strand is a new monthly event that showcases a diverse range of talented and upcoming artists from a variety of genres.

Rock the Strand takes place on the fourth Thursday of every month in the hotel’s newly refurbished Lounge Bar. It is free to attend and revellers will be able to enjoy tipples from the extensive drinks menu, which includes bottled beer, ciders, aperitif and cocktails.

Tony Moore who has had a long and eclectic career in the music business curates the show. Tony started as an original member of Iron Maiden, and then went on to play keyboards in Cutting Crew through the 80’s. In the 90’s he launched the legendary Kashmir Klub where he created a stage for a whole new generation of acoustic artists to learn their craft and gain an audience.

Performers like Damien Rice, KT Tunstall, The Feeling, Imogen Heap and many more made their debut with him. For the last 14 years he has continued that passion for new music by introducing acts like Ed Sheeran, Jamie Lawson, James Bay and hundreds of others. Now, working with The Strand Palace Hotel, he will be bringing some of the most exciting and dynamic performers to central London.

Rock the Strand kicks off at 7.15pm on Thursday 27th April in the Lounge Bar at Strand Palace Hotel.
