Popped into Kaff today and it was great to see a really gifted young lad playing the piano there. Says he learnt off the internet! He was very good.

Wow. This could save me a lot of agony and vast expense with my kids.

Or better still, get the guy in Kaff to teach them while you have a drink.

He only popped in off the street and asked if he could have a go. I made a video which I'll post up if I get chance (I told him that we were playing there on Friday and asked if he didn't mind playing a bit so I could show our keyboard player what the piano sounds like).

This is coming up on Thursday if anyone fancies a literary strut:

went on this walk - it was very worthwhile. Did you know about the mosaics based on William Blake's poem illustrations under the two railway arches off Hercules Road? Me neither.

Two of the least sympathetic people ever to appear on TV, who land-grabbed a bit of Brixton and, within a couple of years, are fucking off to carpetbag elsewhere.

Get off the damn fence man, and say what you really mean

 

[leanderman]

Tried the Joint in Brixton Village tonight. V, v good and, crucially, BYO.

over 9000 gentrilols.

 

[leanderman]

What kind of food?

Ribs and wings in a sweet BBQ sauce then an enormous pulled pork bap. All for £10. (And beers from Liquor Supply!)

It was fairly busy last night - mainly female clientele.

If a wine bar seems out of place, just wait for the champagne bar that opens on Oct 8.

Ladeez Nite?

 

[teuchter]

Yes.

I'm guessing you executed your land grab a while ago.

A wine bar isn't really out of place anymore in Brixton. Soon it'll be the crusties desperately harking back to the early nineties that will be out of place. Long may th improvement of Brixton continue.

You don't think Brixton is a better place that it was 10 years ago? If you don't then you must be seriously unhinged.

In Granville or Market Row?

Would like to try somewhere new after the beer launch later (assuming the queues won't be horrific. Which they will be).

How does SE24 fit into this picture?

May I suggest you get there early for the beer launch? We sampled all three ales last night and they were fucking lovely and very moreish!
