Acoustic Sundays - music, food, film and drinks

Well...hello summer! Today is sunny, therefore we are assuming that July 6th will be sunny (that's how it works, right?). If this is the case then we will be outside on the street, for some pavement dancing, drinking, eating and general fun times!

Food will be home made pizzas with ingredients from Capocaccia fine food.

Drinks:
PIMMS FOR ALL! There will be lashings of pimms with soft fruits, ice and lemonade...mmmmm.
Elderflower Champagne - replacing our usual homebrew (ginger beer) this month we will have the sparkling delight that is the gift of the elder tree.
Fresh Apple Juice - an addition for all you soft drinkers out there!

Films: 1.30pm This month at Acoustic Sunday there will be a screening of short films before the music. These will be:

LIFT - Dir. Michaela Lowe
Jake, who suffers Asperger's and is terrified of social interaction, strikes up a relationship with his lonely downstairs neighbour when trapped in their apartment's elevator

PAPER CUTS - Dir. Sophie Ansell
An absurd fairytale about a bored barmaid.

ROBOTICS ACCORDING TO LOUIS - Dir. Jamie Stone

WHEN YOU WANT ME - Dir. Jack Hextall and Rick Sims
A half-man-half-badger, marginalized from society, lives rough in the city. After a naive girl takes pity on him the stage is set for a booze-fuelled love story featuring danger, depravity and a dancing dead squirrel.

JOB. - Dir. Alex Horsfall
Unassuming Simon gets a nasty surprise when he goes for a job interview. A dark comedy regarding the horrors of office-based employment.

FULL ENGLISH - Dir. Ben Oren
Full English is an exploration into movement and manipulation looking at the activity of breakfast, masked by a rhythmic beat of common breakfast sounds.

Blessing your ears with their fine sounds this month will be:
