Black Market Clash - The Clash Pop Up on Berwick Street

Clash fan or not this was unbelievable! One of the best collections of anything i've ever seen. Shame it was only a two week gig (to coincide with the release of a 2 disc, 3 LP best of collection The Clash Hits Back, along with an 11 disk!! box set Sound System) but i guess there is only one place this collection of instruments, clothing, memorabilia and generally cool shit belongs - back with the band.

It gave an insight that's usually so rare in these kinds of exhibitions. This was REAL. To get up close to hand scrawled lyrics, smashed-up guitars and gig-stained clothing filled you with energy, their energy.. which you could then expend on the amped-up Fenders just waiting to be abused...

Flat Iron Steak - Beak Street

Good food, Good value, Good fun. Steak, chips, peppercorn sauce, creamed spinach, baked aubergines, leaves, wine (a generous amount), popcorn tossed in dripping (complimentary), all for around £45 for two. Not bad eh? Staff were cool too.

If you haven't heard of Chris Bracey then head down to Beak Street and check out his pop up shop/ exhibition space. You probably already know more about his work than you think though. The guy has been 'the Neon Man' for the last 37 years, building up a huge body of work that's been used in films, fashion and beyond! You can't miss the inviting glow that practically beams you into this wonder emporium of neon...
