It’s a three day festival this year for Jerusalemites and while there is lots going on Thurs night, there is really only one place to be Sat night in Jerusalem. That’s with us at the Layla Bar in town.
We aimed to celebrate in true j’m form and joined our brothers HolyFunk and Shmingles production teams and booked the Layla bar for Sat night 22nd March. The dress-up theme is nightmares and fantasies. It will be a most diverse crowd so we have music to cover that. HolyFunk has one floor and DJ and Shemspeed has the other DJ. There will be funkin beats, drum and bass, reggae, dancehall all night.
