Ah crazy night last night seeing Blackstar, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, De La Soul and Rakim at the Hammersmith Apollo.

There was even time for a few drinks in Richmond before hand which is always a double thumbs up super plus! Ha Ha!

Massive thanks to James Warren, my partner on Boiler Insurance & Repairs, for the tickets.

Here are a few photos etc…

Graffiti in Watford

Yesterday I was off to Watford for a little graffiti action with Jim, who I run a boiler insurance with – always nice to get involved in a little art and develop my inner artist. Below you can see one of my efforts. It was a great chance to enjoy the good weather in London and take a break from Mayfair, Soho and the Royal Wedding which took over the West End.

On Saturday night I was out celebrating a good friend, Geoff’s, Birthday.

It was the usual drunken shenanigans on our table with Champagne and Vodka arriving in bulk with the obligatory sparklets adorned on them.

F.A.M. (Fashion, Art & Music) Networking

After a bit of a break from my promoting job after a very hectic six months I am ready to submerse myself back in to that crazy world. After a little reshuffle I am now hosting my art class at the same time as my weekly networking event as, to be honest, the networking event has not been well attended.

This has amazed me in some sense because I think it is such an amazing opportunity to meet people that are useful for developing your business – including me!

Well one advantage is that I have more of an excuse to enjoy a glass of wine at 7pm on a Tuesday as you have to drink wine at networking events, it’s the law!

Fashion, Art & Music Networking

Anyway, perhaps you will stumble upon this blog and decide to join us every Tuesday from 7pm at Abracadabra Restaurant & Bar on Jermyn Street. For those that like all the details take a look at the event description below…

Network with Fashion, Art and Music insiders every Tuesday from 7pm – 9pm at St James’s quirky Abracadabra Restaurant & Bar. Enjoy the chance to explore new opportunities within the Fashion, Art and Music sectors with models, photographers, designers, buyers, artists, art dealers, producers, vocalists, dancers, label executives, investors and a cocktail or two.

Organised in association with Forbidden London, nominated as Best Promoters at the 2010 London Club & Bar Awards, the night will provide an informal and relaxed environment to make new contacts and seek advice from industry experts.

Each week, providing there are sufficient attendees, an expert speaker will present a 15 minute talk giving advice and insider information.

Abracadabra, a friendly and lively restaurant and bar, is the perfect venue ideally located just minutes from both Piccadilly Circus and Green Park Tube Stations.

Entry is free.

Sketching Class on Tuesday at HEYJOCLUB

jameswjwilson — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 19:35:22 +0000

Art class again this Tuesday, always a very relaxing evening…

Forbidden London in association with acclaimed artist Sanja Sakic, present the first in a series of nude sketching and drawing classes.

Art in Mayfair

With both male and female models to be your muses you will love the opportunity to develop your sketching and drawing skills in a relaxed and friendly environment alongside fellow art enthusiasts.

The class is very informal with minimal direction allowing you to enjoy practicing and honing your skills whether you are an experienced artist or you just want to give things a go for the first time.

All drawing materials are provided – pencils, rubbers, paper, drawing boards etc.

The price of participation is £10 which goes towards the costs involved with running the class.

Japan Centre Sushi

OK, you probably don’t care that I had sushi from the Japan Centre for a early evening snack but I do because it was tasty!

Partying at Embassy Tonight

jameswjwilson — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 19:18:46 +0000

Tonight we are off to London club Embassy for a little party in honour of my friend Geoff’s birthday party. It seems that Spring is the month for birthdays as I have been to about 6 in the last few weeks.

Embassy is always great and I am delighted to be there tonight especially as the club has just signed-up for the Forbidden London Directory.

I’ll post some photos up later tonight or tomorrow. If you would like to join me tonight and celebrate with us register for the Embassy Guest List on the Forbidden London Clubs website.

Hello world from James WJ Wilson!

jameswjwilson — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 19:14:04 +0000

You are here.

Where is James Wilson?

Obviously not here. Perhaps I am working with one of the best clubs in London or busy planning new website development. I could be conducting a restaurant review, judging a modelling competition or running down Oxford Street on the way to an important meeting in Soho or Mayfair related to my concierge company. Maybe these things are all wrong and I am simply at a Private Members Club listening to some celebrities gossip whilst smoking a shisha.

When will you be here James Wilson?

I will be here soon. Until then my progress can be monitored on my blog. If you are interested in networking with me catch-up with me on the Forbidden London Clubs Network

Thanks James Wilson, anything else to leave us with?

Not at this time.
