The perfect post pride catharsis with tamesideq***rmeet last night. After the sad loss of two of the finest q***r icons, both born in the same year and died on the same day something felt missing and empty that was found and made full again through creativity, collaboration & connection (and a LOT of glitter). Rocky Horror played, Dolly sang and cocktails were drank, and we filled the canvases with many little bits of magic (canvases expertly outlined by the very talented .mayd ) Thank you tamesideq***rmeet for your ever brilliant ideas and selves 🙏🏽🌈🍸

Tonight is a perfect vinyl cocktail of and - We are very fortunate here to have home of two of the most brilliant, joyous, gorgeous vinyl nights - and tonight they have married for merriment we are all enjoying. Cosmic and yonner - two folk of such honour and we do want to take the chance to honour Dolly. We all are of course, but we had her stand tall while short of stature to patron our ashton-under-lyne pride: we didn’t know then just a month back we might be bringing her cardboard cut out back down for more celebration and this time just for her. The nico ditch is made up of people of realness, poor, rich, tall, small, we all have big large hearts and put them into what happens here. A toast to Dolly, and a toast to and - who embody the real spirit of creative freedom and brilliance! We are a coat of many colours. Big love 💛💚💜🤍❤️🖤🩷💙🌈🙏🏽🫂

All our table flowers, fresh coffee, mint, fresh lemons and limes (all - but the flowers - made fresh for our fine cocktails), are from Ashton’s market stalls & kiosks, indoor and outdoor. All our cases are found historic bottles from Clayton Vale (a victorian landfill that now blossoms treasures whenever the rains are heavy). We get everything we need from the local stalls and stores. Because they are more beautiful and taste better (we don’t eat the flowers honest). Come and sample our freshly made juices and finest selected coffee in our many cocktails (thank you as always Market Grounds Coffee Bar ) 🙏🏽💛🫶🏼🍸

Whether the weather is sunny or dull, our cocktails brighten up the sunshine inside your soul (it is there we see it you glorious beast). We freshly squeeze limes and lemons , we make our gimme no and demera syrup - no pre/made anything here. Everything made and served with love! Coz what the world needs now - is love - sweeeeet love. And cocktails. They often lead to love - self-love, which is the most radical act of all (thank you belle hooks), and the love of our fellow (hu)man. When we have a cocktail or two, everyone is lovelier. It’s just the way of things 🙃🫶🏼 Cheers you sexy sausage
