David Devant And His Spirit Wife 20th June

Cult band David Devant and his Spirit Wife will be joining us for A Quiet Night Inn Friday 20th June and will perform a one off show with special guests The Indelicates.

David Devant And His Spirit Wife are a groundbreaking group of chaps who have been making music since emerging from Brighton in the early 1990’s. Their legendary live shows are a thrilling mix of glam rock, art pop and music hall theatrics.

The party will continue afterwards with guest DJ’s and a licensed bar until 2am.

Tickets are £10 (+small booking fee) can be purchased online from wegottickets or from The Union Music Store Lewes or on the door.

Doors open 7:30pm-2am

A percentage of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Lewes Phoenix Rising cause which aims to acquire and develop a portion of the land within the Phoenix Estate to be funded, built and managed by the community, for the community to provide genuinely affordable, adaptable, innovative homes for local people, maintain and enhance the creative, industrial and social quarter at the heart of town and provide premises for new businesses that will create local jobs and create a landmark not-for-profit development that is worthy of the South Downs National Park (SDNPA)

Pimped Pants

After a refreshingly retro Campari cocktail and some crostini bites, the ladies went upstairs to the  gallery to begin glamourizing their boring (new) white knickers into Valentine treats.   Strewn with antique ribbons, festooned with fairy lights and glinting sequins, our white cube was transformed by the Make Believe Café team into a craft haven with carefully embroidered garments locked in glass vitrines, the work of guest tutor Sam Reece, lining the walls and giving inspiration to the novice knicker embellishers.

Meanwhile, the boys played some snooker and the CDA team put the finishing touches to their spectacular feast of whole poached salmon clothed in cucumber scales and roast chicken flavoured with fragrant herbs. The crowning glory to this magnificent supper was an enormous chocolate and orange layer cake smothered in dark chocolate ganache and a rich creamy rice pudding infused with subtle notes of cinnamon and orange.

It was a lovely evening, thank you Make Believe Café team and we hope to see you soon for more special events, good food and good people.
