Jazzy tunes
/
It was my friend Kathy's birthday on Saturday and she arranged a get-together in a bar called 'Jam in a Jar' in Tottenham. The weather was abysmal and the bar was on the other side of London so I could have happily stayed curled up at home on the sofa. Nevertheless, I dragged myself out and I was glad I did because it was a great night when I got there. Tottenham doesn't have much in the way of trendy bars so it was absolutely jam packed. There was a great live band playing upbeat, jazzy tunes and it was good to sample the deliciously, potent cocktails and have a bit of boogie!
