Hennessy is powering a South London Renaissance
When you think of Cognac, the chances are you probably think of Hennessy, thanks to its 250-year history, and solid presence in music culture. Now, it has linked with South East London’s newest live music venue and food hub, The Queen of the South, alongside cultural platform Cloud X. Hennessy is proudly committed to supporting and empowering new musical artists and the communities and the “South London renaissance” is just another way the cognac brand is supporting the culture. The festivities will kick off on April 5 with performances from Bawo, ETTA BOND, and cult rap singer Finn Foxell alongside South London Rap collective house of Pharaohs and Tara Lily. If this is a bit of you, find out more here.
