May Miscellany: London, Louise's Birthday, Norwich, and Steve Winwood, Islington and Cambridge - May 2007

A Miscellany of May: first up, Isobel's down in London for an Interaction Design course, so Nosher heads down to meet up for Saturday night, after which we head up to Islington to meet with Caoimhe. But first, there's a bit of food in Carluccio's, followed by beers at The Bull on Upper Street. Next, it's Qualcomm Louise's 30th birthday on Bridge Street in Cambridge. Then, Caoimhe "the shoe" is up in Norwich and suggests we meet for a beer, and so it's off to the Fine City and a visit to its oldest pub, the Adam and Eve, which has had drinking on the site for 1,500 years. Finally, there's a chance for Nosher to finally get to properly see the artist responsible for a favourite album - Arc of a Diver - at The Junction in Cambridge. Isobel is dragged along too but ends up rather enjoying it, in good part because the band are excellent and incredibly tight, and Steve is a total legend on a real Hammond B3 organ.

next album: The Cambridge Beer Festival, Jesus Green, Cambridge - 24th May 2007
previous album: Visiting Dave Dood at Sanger - The Sequel, Hinxton, Cambridge - 3rd May 2007
