Does anyone know where the above concert was filmed?

[marval]

No, we wanted to know as well, OH knew someone who was playing so hopefully he can ask him.

BBC Classical Music TV cameras went to London's Air Studios to film a special live concert for the festive season: Swingin' Christmas features three singers who made their mark in those concerts – Anna Jane Casey, Seth MacFarlane and Curtis Stigers. Introduced by Sir Michael Parkinson, John Wilson's concert delves deep into the American songbook, with some contributions also from noted British composers of swing music.

Thank you emmie, I have just contacted them to ask.

[marval]

Sorry Jomlett, I didn't see you there. Thank you for that.

i am pretty sure its St Lukes, have seen quite a lot of concerts there on BBC. One recently was a repeat of Tom Jones doing the blues, with Seasick Steve and various artists, great show,
the stained glass window at the back looks the same.

thought i knew the place, and yes it was a church

However, 1991 heralded the beginning of a new AIR Studios located in the beautiful Lyndhurst Hall in London. A site of significant architectural and historical interest, Lyndhurst Hall occupies a prominent corner position in the quiet suburb of Hampstead and is classified as a Grade II* listed building. Originally a church and missionary school Lyndhurst Hall was designed in 1880 by the great Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse (designer of the Natural History Museum).
