The Italian Touch
for your event
The Ponente wind is a warm wind that blows from the west, where the sun sets. This is the feeling we imagine when we organise an event: a sunset, happy guests dancing, and good music!

How Ponente was born
In September 2021, London opened a new haute cuisine venue with live music and destined to become a mainstay of Mayfair nightlife with an Italian flavour, Bardo St James.
Luca Maggiora, owner of Bardo, the historic Tramp Club and various nightclubs in the city, played a central role in the birth of Ponente Entertainment.
It is he who entrusts us with the music programming for the venue, which has grown in popularity to become one of the most important live music venues in the UK.
From this experience Ponente Entertainment was born, first as an organisation based mainly on musicians in London, then as a reality on the market for international events in Italy and Italian events abroad.
