As part of @hackneyhistoryfest , yesterday DLMDD podcast host @unclevibes hosted a live interview with @broughtonviv , owner of The Premises Studios.
The word iconic gets overused, but Viv really is it - with casually cool anecdotes about playing with Bowie to Lionel Richie’s head sculpture blessing the company summer parties.
Listen to Jez & Viv talk all things The Premises on DLMDD’s @ifthesewallscouldtalk_podcast , link in bio.
The biggest drop of the year is upon us…

Think it’s fair to say, the word legend gets banded around with far too much frequency...
Particularly when you spend the morning in the company of someone who has played in the same band as David Bowie, was the co-founder of The Voice Newspaper and is one of the UK’s most knowledgeable voices on Gospel music, an activist, author, director, musician and all round lovely bloke!
Not to mention someone who has spent the last 30 years as CEO and owner of the Premises Studio - one of London’s most cherished working studios and multi purpose artistic spaces.

Was a pleasure to chat to Mr Viv Broughton for episode 2 of Season 2 of If These Walls Could Talk...

Season 2 of ITWCT is live and what a place to start...
Join us as we delve into the history, heart, and sheer fabulousness of one of London’s most iconic queer venues ...
A space that since its doors opened in the 1860s, has stood proudly at the intersection of resilience, rebellion, and celebration, a place where drag legends have been born and where the LGBTQ+ community has always found refuge and joy - even in the toughest times.
From its legendary performances during the AIDS crisis, to the venue being graced by Lily Savage, Freddie Mercury and George Michael to name a few this space is not just a venue - it’s a living monument to queer history and culture.
We were blessed in the company of the man who has done so much help to carry that legacy forward - Mr James Lindsay, CEO and Managing Director of the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
Ladies & Gentleman - welcome to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern!

Just over 10 years ago I blagged a residency at the legendary Hospital Club in Covent Garden.
Had no idea what the plan was but quickly the path unravelled, there were a few other Open Deck nights in and around London - shouts to @patsteele and @misssoxee for the inspiration and the torch paper was lit.
On a monthly basis thereafter an assortment of DJ’s, Selectors and Dancers threw down and got down to a boogie laden soundtrack and quickly a unique vibe developed.
Friendships were made, creative connections were sparked and a community has grown.
A decade has now passed and since
The Open Vinyl Sessions has graced some of London’s most renowned venues The Groucho Club, Ronnie Scott’s, Paradise and now the Century Club.
On Friday Nov 7th we celebrate our 10 year anniversary and will be hosting some of the legendary faces and dancers who have made this one of Londons most loved getdowns.
As always from 8pm – 1pm an open deck policy will be in operation – house party style.
Expect a carefully curated array of DJ’s and Selectors new and old and a free flowing soundtrack encompassing Funk, Soul, Disco, Hip-Hop, R&B, Lovers Rock, Broken Beat, Dancehall, House, Jungle and other styles and vibes rooted in the groove.
10 years baby! Here’s to 10 more…
