Can Kwame keep his club open?

BBC Radio 4 - The Untold, Can Kwame keep his club open?

Community is at the heart of Kwame's club... but can he afford to keep it open?

Kwame runs his East London club with a strong sense of community... but as the cost of living starts to bite can he keep it open while staying true to his values?

The Jago is one of the few black-owned clubs left in Dalston, East London. When Kwame took it over in 2018 his idea was to make it a space for community – whether giving grassroots musicians and DJs a place to start nights or providing a food bank for local residents. But as the cost of living starts to bite, a noise complaint that could cost thousands to resolve makes Kwame wonder whether he can afford to keep the club open while staying true to his values.

Produced and presented by Emily Dicks
