Seconded on the bacon sandwich! I ‘accidentally’ ordered two the other day

No we haven’t. It’s called ‘noise pollution.’

I was in this morning and happy to report the music was at a perfect level in the basement. Had a delicious pastis de natal with my flat white. Yum.
The place was buzzing mid-morning. I arranged to meet a friend there, confident in the knowledge there would be seats. Before the basement opened, we’d often meet elsewhere rather than trek to St David and find it full. All power to @StDavid and their basement!

Just wanted to commend St David’s music taste…every time I’ve been in, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the diverse selection. Currently enjoying my coffee and cake listening to Nick Cave! Bliss. Thanks St David’s for making my morning.
Ps: the ambience and volume are spot on

Your mention of Nick Cave made my odd brain connect to John Cage and his excellent work 4’33" which can be heard playing regularly at The Capitol. It also happens to be the only piece of music I can play on the bagpipes.

Haha… Well that’s a different type of ‘sound’.

My father used to play the bagpipes. He stopped one day. We were very happy.

Outside of my office is a busker who plays the bagpipes. He plays three songs. The theme from Star Wars. Enter Sandman. And usually something by Adele. Three is all he needs as his customers usually move on. I on the other hand get 4 hours of three songs in rotation. I am looking for a high power sniper rifle if anyone has one.
Happy to oblige. Do you have a clear line of site from your house or will I need my urban Ghillie suit?
No. I have clear line of sight from my office. And advantages through extraterritoritality.
As Noel Coward said, “A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion - but doesn’t.”

OK, time and date need to be worked on. Do you want him dead or just the bagpipes out of commission?
Somewhere in between
OK, shot through the bagpipes and fleshy part of the shoulder with a .22 long rifle.

Classy!
For those locals who enjoy a spot of music in the basement. Come on down on 5th April in the evening. I’m playing 2 solo sets of music, It’s folky, it contemporary, its full of rich storytelling and I’ve a fine ethereal voice to transport you on a vocal voyage away from the city.
All cushions in attendance will be sat on. Lewis x
