Drinking beer in Tottenham

We've been in Tottenham for just over a year and in that time it's gone from being home of the Carling binge drinker to the capital's craftiest postcode. Coincidence? I think not mi familia. We're setting the bench mark for taste buds all over the north of London. With so much good beer on offer and the trendies who over run Hackney yet to take over our environs, we've been out and about sampling many of N17's best aley wares.

Check out the latest issue of the Tottenham Community Press for a piece exploring Tottenham's new beer mile...

Summer in the city

Summer has gone and we're now bracing ourselves for a winter shit sandwich of Trump, Brexit, May, North Korea, David Davis and more. Turn your televisions off and don the helmets as the gross get grosser and the stupid get even more stupid innit. It's been pretty hectic round these parts hence the catastrophically long gap between posts but vibes are for living right? Right - check out how we do via this handy photo montage...

We had no hot water for ten days and suddenly we'd started a fucking trend.

Get yoursens down Monty's Deli

Other than world peace, is there anything more palatable than an overfilled meat sandwich? Monty's Deli is in Hoxton, achingly trendy but do a fucking immense butty which comes with a pickle the size of your conk. Check it.

A very Scottish wedding

We travelled up the spine of the UK at the end of July for a wedding in Scotland. The wedding was bo (big up Bron and Phil) but one of the major moments was discovering a new food. The Macaroni pie! Right on Nicola Sturgeon for allowing this to happen in her lands. May - take note you troll.

A rainbow - I deleted a load of photos and apps to make space for it, then five minutes later it rained so hard that we couldn't see anything

Cloud eggs

It's hard to say how much our gaff loves eggs but in every shape, size and form, we're huge, dedicated fans. From scrambled to scotch, we'll snaffle them up whatever way they come with a snarl on our chops and a wanton disregard for becoming eggbound.

So with this kind of fire in our loins, you can imagine how excited we were to learn of the new 'craze' for cloud eggs. They resemble cumulus nimbus with yolks and involve separating the whites and beating them into stiff peaks, then baking the blighters. Who doesn't like getting on that? Yeah mate.

Out in the Styx

If you go out in the styx today, you're probably going to get a big surprise ...  well if you end up in Tottenham Hale you might be surprised to learn that there's more popping than just JD Sports, Pizza Hut and an inexplicably busy Costa Coffee. Arts venue Styx is almost next to the bus station but you'll need to be slightly in the know to discover its mix of clubs, theatre and cocktails. Seek and ye shall find? Or check out this interview with the team behind the venue in the latest issue of the Tottenham Community Press...

Soho Radio jazz special

I forgot to throw this up online so to speak, but here's the last show we did (as M magazine) on Soho Radio back in June. This was a jazz special and was one of the best installments yet, in part due to the average age in the studio being below 30 for the first time since we started doing it. It smells less stale for sure... You can listen below and check out the archive of the previous episodes by heading here and searching for M magazine. It's much missed by me in some ways... however, no longer doing it means my hair is a little less grey than before...
