The Kitchen Garden Cafe in Kings Heath has quickly established itself as a cool and cosy venue for intimate gigs. The beautiful and tranquil surroundings lend themselves perfectly to a warm and fuzzy acoustic experience. In August up and coming Swedish folk rocker Ben Folke Thomas will be appearing, a personal favourite of Birmingham’s own Stuart Lee. Ex grunger Ben tempers his bittersweet songs with a ready humour that sets him apart from others in the genre. A sparkling talent and a real coup for the KGC.

Wed 31 Aug 730pm at Kitchen Garden Cafe, 17 York Road, Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7SA £11 www.wegottickets.com/
