Get ready to dance your way to the moon at JiveMeToTheMoon - the ultimate party at The Crate on St James Street!

"JIM HAMMOND is back with his band...The MK2s !!

Ciao dancers!

Following our previous success over the past few years, we have decided to replicate and stick to another event with a LIVE BAND, on FRIDAY, the 4th of September 2026 @theCrate. Please note that it is on a Friday evening, and we'll keep going for a bit longer—until 10.30 pm! Yehyyy!

The wonderful band MK2s will be featuring Jim Hammond on guitar/keys and vocals, Greggi G on bass and vocals, and Jim Russell on drums.

*Greggi G has also had a lifelong career, playing in several top-notch bands over the last 40 years. His notable associations include Matchbox, The Crazy Gang, Freddie Fingers Lee, and Johnny Earl. With his commanding stage presence and brilliant ability to enhance every song, Greggi is a superb bass player to have in the trio.

*Jim Russell has been playing with the Stargazers, the Inmates, and currently plays with Jim Hammond, Sister Suzie, and Bob Geldof.

*Jim Hammond, like both Jim and Greggi, has been performing live for approximately 25 years. He has been part of various bands across the music scenes we love and has fronted his own successful combos, such as The Borderlines, Sweet Georgia Boys, and The Mark 2s. Jim has had the privilege of working with other talented musicians, including Lynette Morgan, Big Boy Bloater, and The KingCats. His guitar playing has a bluesy edge, and his piano styles range from 40s Boogie Woogie to 60s Jerry Lee Country.

The MK2s are guaranteed to keep you dancing and having an amazing time from start to finish.

The Crate is a community hub with over 20 small independent retailers, a great brewery, and 8 food outlets ( a few steps from the St James Street overground and a few minutes walk from either Blackhorse Road/ Walthamstow Central )
