Part of Get Up, Stand Up Now

Free, intimate gigs which sees Hennessy trace its musical roots from Jazz to Grime.

Night one, on Thursday 15 August, is curated and hosted by Grime pioneer and Boy Better Know member, Jammer, taking revellers on a journey of iconic black British bass music. Performances include Jungle legend General Levy, Garage soundsystem Heartless Crew and Grime MC and Lord of the Mics founder, Jammer himself.

Hennessy Lates brings to life the Hennessy: For the Culture installation - a part of our Get Up, Stand Up Now exhibition - which delves deep into the story of black British music and explores how a 250-year old cognac brand has become synonymous with hip-hop and Grime.
