FRI 19 | For all us non-Americans, Juneteenth – aka Juneteenth Independence Day, Freedom Day or Emancipation Day – is a holiday in the States that celebrates the abolition of slavery in Texas and throughout the South since 1865. In more recent news, last month blues legend B.B. King died, and we’re all pretty bummed about it. Since we wanted in on the Juneteenth fun, and we all loved the King of Blues, The Advisor crew meshed two celebrations together to commemorate freedom, blues and partying. Bring your pretty faces to The Room for a night of non-stop blues, drinking and socialising with the best of ‘em.
