Alt-J and Nick Grimshaw at Baroque

Alt-J

On Thursday 6th December, super-exclusive Mayfair venue Baroque played host to yet another award winning music act; this time in the shape of British super group Alt-J. Supported by Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw, who span the decks on the night. A host of other big names descended on Old Park Lane, including Natt Weller, an appearance from John Malkovich, über-cool band The Hurts and British model Suki Waterhouse who sported a red bow in her hair and looked enamoured with a mystery fella throughout the evening.

Having only been open since early October, Baroque has already welcomed top musical talent from across the globe through its doors, including The Kills, James Blake, Mark Ronson, Delilah and Marina and The Diamonds. Last night Alt-J followed in their footsteps and did not disappoint, reeling off a number of their popular hits, from award winning album 'An Awesome Wave'. The crowd cheered with delight as Tesselate, Fitzpleasure and Matilda were played. As one of their first performances since recently winning the Mercury Prize, the band said how excited they were to play at the venue.

PPQ brings style to new nightlife destination Baroque

Uniforms: Manager, Bartender, Buss Boy, Sound Engineer

As Chartwell Magazine is a big fan of PPQ and Baroque, we were more than delighted to hear of their collaboration. They joined forces to create vintage inspired uniforms for Baroque, a sumptuous space oozing luxury with sophisticated and extravagant decor. Inspired by this theme but driven by simplicity, PPQ went with a gold and black led colour way. The result are uniforms with 1920s, 30s vintage feel, made with the highest quality fabrics available. We are more than happy to share these beautiful sketches of the glamourous uniforms with you (click on the images to see enlarged).
