Closed today Monday 6th December

Yes we decided to celebrate the release of the Savings and Loan album by not opening at all !!! Living outside of Edinburgh I am used to the weather being worse out here but when I spoke to several people in Edinburgh they confirmed it was just as dreadful in the city centre. My plumber had spent two hours trying to get to the shop to finish installing the coffee machine and the joiner had spent the last hour going nowhere. With no trains last week Scotrail were finally providing buses today but the advice was not to travel unless absolutely necessary as road conditions in particular were expected to worsen.

Sadly it is a fact of life I would always be better off sitting at home and selling stuff online but where would be the fun in that. However today it seems I will be sending both Broken Records CDs to Israel, unsuccessfully trying to find out why the check out on our shop keeps failing (we are using a  WP e-Commerce Plugin if anyone has any ideas – email on [email protected]) and updating the website with news of tickets just in for the Song by Toad Christmas party and the eagleowl Stars in their Eyes Xmas Special.

Hopefully we will be open tomorrow and if nothing else by the end of the week we should be able to offer a nice cup of tea or warming hot chocolate as well as fantastic coffee to go with that Savings and Loan album you are undoubtedly going to buy.

An honourable mention should also go to the 30 Pounds of Bone album also out today on the always interesting Armellodie label.
