Bookings via OpenTable ā via the Cafe 1001 website When we decided to start Sunday brunch sets almost a year ago, we honestly didnāt know how they were going to go. Having DJs from 11:00 to 15:00 every Sunday felt like a bit of a challenge; theyāre pretty unconventional DJ times when you think about [ā¦]

Just heard that Jack Barron has passed away. Heād been very ill for 5 years with a rare form of vasculitis, but had held on somehow, until now. Arguably the first rock writer on the weekly inkies to throw his lot in with acid house, he was funny and illuminating. RIP.

Got the very sad news that Dave Ball has died. I still remember the awe of hearing Memorabilia for the first time in Leeds Warehouse in 1981. The man who reimagined northern soul with synths, made a mad solo tune and loads of great gear as the Grid. RIP.
