About This Event

Dinner & Table Reservations from 5pm. DJs from 8pm-2am    Saxon Sound System started in Lewisham in 1976 and spent the next fifty years becoming one of the most significant forces in British music, which is not an overstatement. They pioneered the fast-chat MC style that gave birth to jungle, drum and bass, UK garage and grime. They launched Maxi Priest, Tippa Irie, Smiley Culture and Papa Levi. In 1988 they went to Jamaica and defeated opponents on their home turf, something no UK sound had done before. In 1992 they won the UK Cup Clash. In 1994 they became the first UK sound system to win the World Clash. Jazzie B credits them as a key influence on Soul II Soul. Massive Attack invited them to curate the 2008 Meltdown festival. Chuck D, KRS-One and Wycliffe Jean were all stopped in their tracks by Saxon cassette tapes. David Rodigan has been saluting them for decades. On Saturday nights at Boisdale, Musclehead, Sean M, Victor V and Sir Allan Brando bring that history to the first floor bar. The format is exactly what Saxon has always done best: the latest and the classic, mixed live with MCs on the mic and shout-outs bookable on the night for anyone celebrating. This is not a tribute to what Saxon used to be. It is Saxon, still doing it. First Floor Bar & Heated Garden Terrace Nestled in Cabot Square and overlooking the fountain with the Canary Wharf skyline beyond, the first floor bar and heated garden terrace is a destination in its own right. Fine wines, premium spirits and expertly crafted cocktails, with a selection that covers everything from rare whiskies to classic and signature serves. Pair your drink with Scottish cuisine, fresh seafood, steaks, burgers, pizzas and more. The bar hosts DJ nights Thursday through Saturday and brunch on the terrace every Saturday and Sunday.
