While looking for a electronic music production course in London, I did some research on the…read moreschools that I initially found on the web. 90% of them I immediately decided not to give a chance due to the lack of songs produced by their tutors. The other 10% were the expensive ones and after visting them I realised that they weren't worth the hype at all. When I was almost forgetting about the course, I saw Abstract Source's website and I could not believe that the guy that had produced all those amazing songs was giving lessons, specially with that price. I decided to meet him and I saw that I had finally found the place to be. It was definitely the best choice. I learnt so much things about music production in so little time. The classes were so much fun and full of information. It was a great experience learning and sharing the same passion which is electronic music. Now after finishing this course I can say that I made a really good friend and hopefully a future music partner!!

I only got coffees from here but they were well made and the staff were really nice and friendly. The food comprises a meze bar, charcoal grills, fresh fish and vegetarian, which sounds fantastic. I can't wait to go back and eat here - and maybe even run into the next chart topper. You can catch the number 28 or 48 buses from Liverpool St or the 55 from Old St.

To clear up some confusion, Theatre Deli is the name of the venue, but the theatre group that does…read morea lot of the improv events is The Nursery Theatre. I'm a big improv fan and love long-form (a la TJ & Dave), so I stopped by when Ten Thousand Million Love Stories was on. It was really entertaining, even with the wall-breaking and seeing some of the seams. Improv is tough, but they still made it look easy. Very sharp performers, those two. The other two acts weren't as good (I won't name them out of respect), and I left halfway through the third act. There's a bar with beer and wine (you can order a whole bottle of prosecco to yourself, if that's what you fancy). Good amount of seating without obstructed views.
