Spitalfields has been the spiritual home of pies since Square Pie laid down its steak and ale roots there back in 2001 (on reflection, it probably goes back a wee bit further, what with the jellied eels and meat and potato and that). Still, the square pies have been away for a little while, but rumour has it they’ll be back in September *and* they might be doing something rather fun to celebrate… More on that soon.
On a completely un-pie related topic, well aside from the fact that band leader Mark Holub of super jazz group Led Bib is an ardent Square Pie fan, there’s a great gig by the aforementioned band tonight at the Vortex. They are thoroughly good. So good they make all my molecules shift around and dance around like a sausage dog chasing its tail, its like playing a piano made of marshmallow, it’s like having a big feast of a breakfast with all your favourite friends, when you know you’ve still got the rest of the day to go. Come see them dear reader. It’s a spectacle. It’s great!
