About Mojo

I've been asked many times what gave you the idea for MOJO and have always resisted an explanation mainly because it was the result of many things not just one idea alone.Keith Richards once said that he didn't think rock 'n' roll should be analysed or even thought about deeply just in case you lose the indefinable element that makes it so special.

This could be true of MOJO.

I wanted a room that would ripen with age like an old pub. I wanted something different to interest you everywhere you looked which is why MOJO has definable sections like the portrait wall. I wanted it to be clean but dirty at the same time like some long forgotten blues riff. I wanted it to be intimate and the bar never more than a couple of paces away and I wanted the best drinks and of course my music.

I really like music - I mean I really like it and I knew there were people out there with similar taste I just hadn't found them yet and it was definitely a case of 'build it and they will come'. Sometimes you don't realise you needed something until it comes along.
