Here at EYP basecamp, one of the many things we love about London in the summer is the range of awesome activities on offer (and we're not just talking about our soon to be announced summer party!), from street markets to performance art and exceptional music events. One of this summer's highlights will be going to see the music revolutionary and master pianist, Eric Lewis AKA ELEW, who is bringing his soul-shattering live show from NYC to London's celebrated music venue, Bush Hall, on 8 July.

ELEW fuses classic jazz with modern pop and rock, and has created a thunderous new sound he calls Rockjazz, recalling John Coltrane's 1960s recreations of the contemporaneous popular music. And don't just take our word that he's awesome. ELEW has been asked to perform at a veritable whirlwind of high profile events, including the TED Conference, the 2009 Donna Karan Fall Runway Show, an exclusive pre-Oscar party attended by Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Oprah Winfrey and Hugh Jackman, and an ultra-exclusive benefit for the Contemporary Art Fund at the Circle Filologico Milanese in Milan. Last month, ELEW was invited to the White House, where he performed solo on the piano for an audience that included President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

We've got some pairs of tickets to give away to this awesome event. If you want to be in the running to win a pair, tell us why you love London in the summertime - it's that simple. In the comment section of this post, finishing off this sentence: "I love London summers because...".

On Twitter? Enter from there! Simply follow us (@EYPLondon) and reply to us by completing the sentence "I love London summers because...". Make sure you tag your response with #EYPsummer. And you can check out the rock jazz piano awesomeness at @ELEWW.

I love London summers because you can sit on top of Primrose hill overlooking London, until 8 or 9pm, chilling with friends and watching the Sunset.

I love London Summers because....although the underground is hot and sticky, it's still lovely for a London chicky, out in my flip flops with a glass of Pimms, catching the sun on my bare limbs, who wouldn’t love the sunshine in this amazing city, when it's good people are out smiling there is nothing as pretty!!
