Buzzard Lope through my speakers

I can’t drive, not yet, soon – I tell myself for the last few years. But today I woke up to a beautiful sunshine that triggered my desire to drive. I want to have a car, a Cabriole if possible… Lower the windows and drive to the music playing through the speakers. I want to drive fast. The wind in my hair, warm sun on my face and the road that never ends.

Coincidentally, few days ago Chris’s introduced me to a new band - Buzzard Lope. He’s been talking about them for a while now, so I thought that it’s time to give it a go. Many times our music tastes were far from similar, but this time, to my surprise, he was right! Soon after listening to their track Milestone, I caught myself picturing the mentioned ‘driving story’

You can listen to Buzzard Lope accelerating sounds on Amazing Radio, they just won the ‘Audition’ show to make the full weekly playlist.

If you wish to see them live come down to The Finsbury on the 9th of June.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Last night May 3rd The Finsbury – Lost In The Manor // More Like Trees, John Blood & The Highlys & Bon Bonnie

What a great start to the Bank Holiday Weekend.

With plenty rays of sunshine our terrace was packed with smiley, chatty crowd of our regulars joined by some new friendly faces. When the weather cooled down everyone moved inside to listen to John Blood’s band that opened our live music night with some positive summery-like vibes – These guys know how to set everyone in the room ‘free.’

More Like Trees trio took us on a journey with their energetic and, as always, engaging set and, of course, we cannot also forget about DJ Bon Bonnie’s mix of night long classics.

We had numerous reasons to celebrate and laugh last night. However, we cannot forget about one sad fact –Mustafa, who has been with us almost from the beginning, is leaving our Finsbury Family and setting off to start a new adventure with his bride, Amalia – You are both going to be missed! Thank you Mustafa for all your hard work and we wish you both the best of luck on your new journey.

Happy long weekend to all of you out there, embrace the sunshine and come to say hello!

NEW OPEN MIC FROM FEB – A SPOONFUL OF POISON

Reserve your spot in advance via - spoon@visthespoon.com

A Spoonful of Poison is anarchic, shambolic, chaotic, irreverant, lively, funny, weird, challenging, infuriating and refreshingly invigorating. It is not stale, sycophantic, navel-gazing, self-congratulatory, tired, clinical or dull and is open to everyone : musicians, singers, poets, comics, magicians, mime artists, story tellers, rappers, minimalist micro-theatre-productions, beat-boxers, noise-makers and Random Slapstick Weirdos.

‘most raucous and unpredictable, edgiest, darkest, upside-down and inside out open mic in London. spoonful of poison FTW grrrr ‘ – Un Pop
