This Monday morning’s Music + Coffee combo.
If you've tuned in to my previous episodes, you'll notice I'm not in my usual setting. Lukas and I are in the process of moving house and so for this post and next week's, I'm at my bandmate Rob Pemberton's house for coffee and music.
On the weekend I was in Bristol and so took myself to @RoughTradeStores Bristol branch to browse the racks. I was so pleased to find this Blaze Foley album who I'd only just discovered was the writer behind 'Clay Pigeons' - a song known to me via John Prine's cover version. I delved into Foley's work on Spotify and was struck by its depth, so when I saw this 'Live at The Austin Outhouse' LP, I knew I had to get it. The recording is fantastic - so intimate you feel like you're there in the band room with him. It is a stunning collection of songs with some great guest performances too.
Bristol is blessed with so many great record shops. I've had the pleasure of playing at this one a handful of times now.

In the early 2000's I lived on a narrow boat in London with my partner at the time and we'd often travel the waterways with a family of baristas. Gwilym Davies in fact was the World Barista Champion in 2009! He's now based in the Czech Republic where he roasts, runs barista training courses, and makes coffee with his partner Petra Davies Veselá. He saw my Music + Coffee posts and wanted to send me some samples of 'The Naughty Dog' roasts to try. Yes please! It was so lovely to hear from him after all these years and the coffee is delicious. My fave of the four he sent me is the Ethiopia Banko Gotiti Natural - it's quite sweet and berry-ie. Mmmm. Thank you Gwilym and Petra.
