But there is more to Soho than history. It is a vibrant cultural centre,
just as it was when Colin MacInnes wrote about the area in the 1950s in

an evening, the sound of jazz seems to ooze from almost every door. The main
venue for visiting American musicians is Ronnie Scott’s club, founded in 1959.

tributes to Ronnie, who died just over a year ago.
