Come vinyl with me at Kitchen Garden Cafe
It’s late Sunday afternoon, what better way to relax than by listening to some quality vinyl, but even better than that, bring along your own vinyl and make everyone else listen to it. No restrictions and you get ten minutes to spin those scratched old Herb Alpert albums you love so much, or not! Fletcher’s is a cool bar and describes itself as the stay out late sister of Kitchen Garden Café, we couldn’t put it any better.
Sun 17 Jul, 5pm at Fletchers, 7A York Road, Kings Heath, B14 7SA www.fletchersbarandeatery.co.uk
