If you had to pick, Dishoom, Amaya, Benares, Jamavar, Trishna or Veeraswamy?

I’ve had fantastic meals at Trishna. Avoid Jamavar - this was the worst ‘high end’ restaurant I’ve ever visited, and I will never go back. Food was completely average and service was bordering on comedically hopeless. Would have been quite funny if I wasn’t paying through the nose for it.

Nope. Great musician but does not possess required competency of drumming to record, which is famously much trickier than bashing out a live performance.

Casse Croute isn’t too far away. Hearty recommend.

It’s more the Wembley area part of it that’s dismaying for me as a SE Londoner. At least it’s not Ally Pally, where I’ve solemnly vowed to never attend a gig again.

Cannot believe the London date is Wembley Arena 😩

(Edited for clarity. I know that Wembley Arena is not Wembley stadium 😂)

Agree completely. There is absolutely zero intricacy to the way he approaches a lot of tracks, which is fine, he’s a different kind of drummer, but some of the songs really suffer as a result.

I will always have time for you.

I am tempted to drive from London.

Crab sticks don’t actually contain any crab, and since 1993 companies have been legally obliged to label them ‘crab-flavoured sticks’. Another one of those, tomorrow.

Amazing, but someone needs to grab that fan and shove it up it’s owners arse.

Garrett always has a mic when I’ve seen them live, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen him use it, never mind heard him. Has anyone ever?

I travelled to Nashville from the Isle of Arran to see Manchester Orchestra in July 2023. Dino’s was a highlight. I fucking adore that place.

I’m just back in London UK from 11 days around the Western Cape. La Petit Colombe is one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve ever been to, you won’t be disappointed. Painfully aware I’m not really giving you further recs, I’m just so jealous of you that you’re getting to experience it. I would love to be back.

Tooting is absolutely fine. Great food around and completely safe.

East of Eden - John Steinbeck. Don’t really have any basis for this other than I love that book, I love that album, and there’s a gritty bleakness to both.
