Venue Insight IN ASSOCIATION WITH


TASTES LIKE HEAVEN, BURNS LIKE HELL.


Hi everyone, my name is Jordan Harris. I play guitar and sing in a professional touring band called Skiv, which plays gigs, shows, festivals and soirees in some of the most eclectic and unique pubs, clubs and venues all across the UK (and beyond). The ambition of this monthly column is to provide an unvarnished “Venue Insight” giving my experiences of some of my favourite and most memorable places to play and visit up and down the country.


This month, I’ll be showcasing the wonderfully quirky and alluring hub of London ska, pop, reggae, punk, indie, blues and everything in between which can be found at the appropriately named New Cross Inn (in New Cross SE London), a venue that I have watched grow and transform over the course of the last decade that I’ve played there.


First timers at the New Cross Inn are struck with the vision of a wide stage draped with fairy lights and featuring a Dean Martin quote – “I’d hate to be a teetotaller. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that’s as good as you’re going
