Sharon O'Connell TIME OUT.
What's Cookin' - Upstairs at The Sheep Walk 692 High Road, Leytonstone London E11
What's Cookin' @ The North Star Browning Road, Leytonstone London E11
Inspired by Alan Tyler's legendary Come Down And Meet The Folks, What's Cookin' is a jumpin' night dedicated to bringing you all that's good in americana, the new and the old country, bluegrass, rockabilly, cajun, pub rock, western swing, garage, rock'n'roll, and a whole lot more besides...
Our regular footstompin' country-fried nights are every Wednesday, and we do rather extra tasty Saturday night shows the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. We also do the odd one-off special now and again - check our menu for those. And we sometimes do a secret show or two - you need to be on the mailing list to hear about those shows - so get signed up!
Cookin' News!!!....Cookin' @ The North Star!
We're started a new monthly club at the North Star on Browning Road in leafy Leytonstone Village. It mainly takes place the 3rd Sunday of every month. Its a nice relaxed early evening session. In the winter we kick-off at 6.00pm, with the live stuff finishing about 9.00pm-ish. Come the summer we'll be moving outside to the pub's lovely beer garden at the back, and kicking-off earlier at around 4.00pm. The difference between this and our regular What's Cookin' nights is that we'll be trying to make this as acoustic and unplugged as possible (and that it'll finish a hell of a lot earlier!).
If ya don't know the North Star its just round the corner from the Sheep Walk, on Browning Road (off High Road Leytonstone) E11. Its a lovely friendly community boozer with nice ales and we are also hoping to have a bit of a BBQ.
And in both venues it is FREE!! But we have a voluntary whip round to pay the headline acts. Please be generous!
