The 2nd Underground Restaurant event .

So my first BIG event ! 32 came to the Middle Eastern themed evening and I must say thank you for all who attended for making it such a fab night. We began with some rather wonderful music by the extremely talented musician Ed Bannard words do not describe his voice.

 then swiftly moved on to the starter of rustic stone baked olive and fennel bread, with Lebanese style Baba Ghannouj, Labneh (Eastern European yoghurt dip) and Butter Bean Hummus. This was promptly followed by the main course of Lamb tagine for the meat eaters and for Veggies Butternut Squash tagine all served with lemon rice and roasted fennel. When that was polished off  Tracey McMaster performance artist did a stunning performance called “Wack it off!” which definitely stuck in the audiences’ memory; you got to love a bit of performance art to get people talking!

Finally my guests feasted on Clementine and chocolate syrup cake to a sound track of Ed Bannard. Once we had wiped the chocolate from our mouths with the Daisy Cope designer napkins it was almost time to go! Ladies just had enough time to peruse Penny Spreadbury’s jewellery.

On a finishing note I have to say thank you to the wonder woman Emily who I could not have done with out and all the performers especially “The Kitchen Crew” you know who you are!  

     Emily the wonderwoman in penny speradbury gems!

Tracey McMaster Performance Art @ Nottingham Underground Restaurant.

Tracey’s work is described as “humorous and absurd” and I think I have to agree. Check out the link to fully appreciate the humour of her work. And get intrigued about her work on the 26^th of Feb!

Ed Bannard music @ the 2nd Nottingham Underground Restaurant event

I am extremely excited to have Ed play at the next Nottingham Underground event. I’m not quite sure how to explain Ed’s edgy contemporary folk vibe, but have a listen to his band Hhymn via the link and it may give you a better idea. Enjoy! See you on the 26^th of Feb. Hhymn - These Hands

Daisy Cope fashion designer @the 2nd Nottingham underground event!

Daisy will be designing some super lovely table wear for the event on the 26th of Feb and I'm personally looking for ward to seeing the aprons she is making for me. Daisy will probably be sporting her infamous checked coat so keep your eyes peeled (vogue are after that piece so it's worth commissioning her now before she gets to famous to afford!).

The 2nd Nottingham UnderGround Event

How’s your January been? I think I just managed to scrape my way through it! In order to get myself through February and into the growing season I have decided to do some serious diary planning, putting in nice but cheep weekend activities; something to look forward to in the week. With this in mind, I though it would be a Good idea to do another pop up restaurant event on the 26^th of February. And you are invited! However as the pop up restaurant is not like a regular walk-in restaurant you need to book. I will send directions(a bit like an illegal rave!),menu and details of which artists and performers will be attending this month. Just to point out the venue will be within 10mins drive of the city centre. During the weeks running up to the big event I will be posting about each musician, artist, designer and crafts person to give you a better idea of what the night will be like.

Top 5 of December

All the sparkle and shine of Christmas is becoming a distant memory as we sadly slip back to work and routine! But in order to preserve the wondrous glamour of December I thought I would do a top 5 of December, so here I go:

Number 1 The engagement ring!

After a long night in an ale drinkers pub this summer my boyfriend proposed to me, all I thought was forgotten until on our trip to Iceland, when he pulled out the ring of my dreams! Again we were in a pub the Kaffiebarenn, Reykjavik (Damon Alburn had shares in it and most of the film Reykjavik 101 is filmed in it, on a side note this is a must see film!).

The ring is a slender hammered gold ring with ethically and environmentally sourced milky diamond I love it! Blue poppy  jewellery is well worth a gander: www.bluepoppyjewelry.net, their blog is also fab and really illustrates what personality and passion goes into blue poppy jewellery design and also nice to see sisters working together
