Live Music Friday

From our Church Street Emporium

On Friday 3rd February we have ‘Red Bird Sky’ performing live for your little ears!  They will be performing a selection of their music acoustically from 7-9pm.  Below is a little bit of information to help you get to know the delightful duo!

Why do you think our lovely coffee shop will be a good venue for your gig?

Urban Coffee Co will be perfect for our gig with its relaxed, friendly, sophisticated ambience, plus the acoustics are really good!

Who would be the worst famous person to be stuck in a lift with?

The famous person we would least like to get stuck in a lift with would be Mr Motormouth himself – Jeremy Clarkson!

What is your favourite muffin flavour in the whole world?

Bernie’s favourite Muffin would be a traditional yummy Blueberry – while Mike goes for chocolate, double choc, triple choc or any higher multiplication of choc that you can cram into a single Muffin!

If you could only listen to one artist’s music for the rest of eternity who would it be?

Only one artist for the rest of a lifetime! Bernie would opt for the majesty of Nina Simone – whereas Mike’s caught up in the intimate, human portraits woven by the Americana singer-songwriter, Mary Gauthier.

What can our coffee fanatics expect from your gig?

Red Bird Sky will be bringing their own unique sound to the Urban Coffee Co on 3rd of February – a wonderful melding of words and music with Bernie’s gorgeous vocals, Mike’s sublime guitar playing and songs of real depth, substance and beauty!

December & January’s Book Clubs!

From our Church Street Emporium

The final book club book of the year was Delirium by Lauren Oliver.  Set in a world where love is considered a disease that the population can be cured of when they come of age, Lena is counting down the days to her operation.  But when Lena meets Alex things take a turn.Overall most of the group seemed to enjoy the novel, pronouncing it interesting but at times a little superficial.  Certain aspects of the books didn’t seem to quite add up, particularly the timeline with Lena’s mother and the concept of passion amongst the regulators finding pleasure in their job.  But with reminders of 1984 and cold war communism this book seemed to tread the balance of science-fiction dystopia and a love story well.  The group felt the depiction of being a teenager, even trapped in a dystopia, was accurate and the theme of growing up was well played.  Certain questions like why the regime exists and how big the compound they all live in were left unanswered, but being the first in a series of books it was thought they might be answered in later novels.  Overall an absorbing read.

There will be a meeting on Thursday 26th January to discuss Oliver James’s non-fiction title Affluenza.  It’s available in all good book shops and Birmingham libraries have a few copies, so why not make it your New Year’s Resolution to get reading more and join us?  Those that don’t finish (or start) the book are more than welcome too and we meeting in the Church St branch at 6pm on the last Thursday of the month.

Live Music Friday

From our Church Street Emporium

Bethan Marshall is an acoustic folk artist who has already released her first album ‘Sketches in Sound’ in may 2008. She has been gigging on and off for 7 ish years.

Her songs are a mixture of reflective poems, heart-churning experiences and just observations of the beautiful and interesting world we live in.  For her second album material she has recruited some musical friends to accompany her to add further dimensions to the sound.

To have a sneak preview of her sound and what you can expect just click here.

Hope you can all make it on Friday 6th Jan at 7pm!
