Moods always impresses me with an exciting, world class programme with shows almost every day. Although the focus is on jazz, artists from almost every corner of the world and from every genre have graced its stage. Curious? If you need to see more live music then drop me an e-mail. Today i’m giving away 1 year subscription to Moods allowing you and a companion to attend up to 300 concerts this year.

Give my love to the city

If you like your vinyl records small and compact and your grooves funky then Kasheme is the place for you this Thursday. Daptone founder and all round music legend Neal Sugarman, (he played sax on Uptown Funk don’t ‘cha know,) will be be playing a «Mountain of Soul» from his extensive 45 collection, just for you lucky Ronsters.

Directly over the road from Kasheme, Kino Riff Raff are premiering a new documentary on the travails of the younger generation in Ghana. «Contradict» by Peter Guyer and Thomas Burkhalter follows the journey of six Ghanian musicians who use their creativity to continue the long struggle against colonialism and other injustices.

But that’s not all. Two of the stars of the film, Wanlov The Kubolor and rapper MC M3nsa Ansah, collectively known as the FOKN BOIS are performing at the Stall 6 on Friday.

Who are Projektil? Well, they are a group of artist who are developing new (and spectacular,) ways of telling stories. Starting on Friday, the St Jakobs church becomes the canvas for «Genesis», their 30min visual journey through the history of creation. Don’t worry if you can’t make it this Friday, the show runs from 31st Jan until the 15th of March with special events with live music also taking place.

It the first Sunday in February and that means it’s Super Bowl. The armoured millionaires of the San Francisco 49ers take on the equally armoured and wealthy Kansas City Chiefs.

Tuedsay is a funny old night. There is never usually a lot happening but this Tuesday there is not one, but two great gigs with very different styles.

First up, retro glam rockers The Darkness are playing at the X-Tra. Justin H is taking a break from DJ-ing at the Kater to hit the stage proper.

Secondly, soul artist Hannah Williams & The Affirmations are playing at the Moods jazz club. If you like your music soulful then you’re gonna dig this.

Don’t fancy watch a gig? Once again, the European Outdoor Film Tour is arriving in Zurich and if you haven’t been to one of these events then it is worth going. 2 hours of incredible films from the outdoors in the comfort of the Volkhaus. Yay!

I’m sure you Ronsters are all familiar with the Dynamo and the Cuchi am Wasser which sits just beneath it. But are you really familiar with the Chuchi am Wasser? If you are then you are in for a shock as monomai.ch are opening a pop up which will run from Friday until Valentines day.

As well as delicious, simple home cooked food (they call it grandmother meals as experienced in Kyoto,) there is a whole host of other events taking place with Japanese lessons, calligraphy lessons and movies.

Their opening will take place this Friday at 7pm with live music, snacks and a DJ until late with no reservation required. A perfect opportunity to give it a try.
