Founded in 1986 and situated in London

The Fortissimo has always been highly regarded for being the very first nightclub to introduce a wide spectrum of vintage roots music that would normally be alienated from airplay in dance clubs, particularly music of Black heritage.

It featured a diverse array of genres, from gospel, big band swing, primitive rocking blues, cajun, zydeco, doowop and western swing to classic and hardcore rock n roll, latin, small island rhythm and blues, township jive, and jump rhythm n blues. 

The Fortissimo continues to be both pioneering and inspirational.
