What can I say: they are my favourite band and they are brilliant and this is the third time we had a chance to see them! They are among the most uncool and un-rock'n'roll looking people on this planet but their music is definitely the opposite.
And with this concert they have proved once again that they are indeed everything their clothes do not suggest ;-)

If you weren't there you can still buy some of the concerts online so it's almost like being there: http://pixieslive.sandbag.uk.com/Store/DisplayItems.html

The concept is a bit weird: the restaurant is Asian with Thai influences but it's also a cocktail-bar with Cuban influences. Ah well, as we like both and we've heard good things about the food and the cocktails we are quite willing to try!

The food is indeed yam mie yam: good portions, exquisite taste, fresh and nice to look at. I also loved my cocktail and it was even quite well matched with the food :-)

The restaurant is quite small but if you have to wait you can always sit a while at the cocktail bar. It also has take-away (not sure if that includes the cocktails haha).

Brilliant and we've only seen part of it! There is a castle, a giant glasshouse and loads and loads of outside space with trees and all kinds of other living and growing things.
