So here goes!
Once a month a good friend of mine holds a gathering we like to call Coffee and Cake Club. Basically, usually once a month – but always on a Sunday – she has one or two local bands play in her lounge and provides all the club’s guests with free tea, coffee, hot chocolate if you’re lucky and an assortment of cakes and biscuits. I personally think it’s bloody lovely, and that a completely unbiased opinion.. honest. As lovely as it is already and has been over the last 12 months, the two more recent Coffee and Cakes have upped the stakes completely.
Please note, I didn’t take any of these photographs in order to create a blog, I literally just decided I needed to post something so I apologise for the sporadic changes from photo to photo. 
Jeremy Warmsley popped over for a little set before heading off to his ‘real’ gig of the evening and was followed by the lovely Anna Palmer.
Last night’s Coffee and Cake was just as impressive! Cassie managed to get Adam Ficek of Babyshambles to play a few songs for us, again, before his ‘real’ gig of the evening and was then followed by a local band called The Tantrums.
This actually a cake by the way. It’s Coffee and Cake’s 1st Birthday cake made by the amazing Ramona. Nobody wanted to touch it for a while.
Adam walked in and wasn’t greeted as a celebrity, which I always think is the best way. He was a funny guy, with the best cockney accent. Well, I think it was cockney… ?
Despite it’s name, coffee and Cake allows you the choice to bring booze if you want to but I think yesterday’s amount of booze was a C&C record.
It’s funny how we all try to fit into the lounge comfortably. There were people in the kitchen, on the floor, in the hallway on chair backs.. all over the place.
The Student Guide = a friends magazine, so this photo was a must.
My housemate but soon to be ex housemate as of Wednesday. :’( I’m moving.. funnily enough to the house where C&C is held.
The Tantrums. Originally Scarlet Harlots were supposed to be playing but they’re too busy being on the telly with the likes of Alex Zane.
Maz and Skally Gee decided to take over the gig… I was confused at this point so went to go and eat more cake.
To think C and C all began out of a quiet night in with a friend, her guitar and cups of tea.
Here is a video of last years Coffee and Cake with Untitled Musical Project.
