PostHeaderIcon Newark Jazz Festival 2010

introducing the incredible...

Those of you who came to the 3rd Newark Jazz Festival will remember the Neil C. Young Trio. We're pleased to announce that Neil has confirmed that the trio will return to Stray's as one of our Quartet of Trios.

Chick (pea) soup by the Neil C Young TrioNeil's obvious influences are a mix of Martin Taylor, Antonio Carlos Jobim and maybe a little Django thrown in at times. Neil also lists the shows of Glen A. Larson as an influence!

Neil will be covering tracks from his new album and will be sharing interesting 'bits' about the album, his influences and generally getting feedback from the audience to make this a truly interactive jazz event. Neil's CD's are available on www.myspace.com/Neilcyoungtrio
or see the travelogue on http://www.introducingtheincredible.com/neilcyoung1.html»

We'll be promoting our full Newark Jazz Festival offering shortly but we're excited to tell you that it includes appearances by the Karen Lake Trio PLUS what promises to be a stupendous gig with Dave Newton, Pete Long and Nathan Bray! Watch this space or better still, join our mailing list...

PostHeaderIcon more seats at Stray's

No. 20 - At last our new seating areas are open

We recently opened No.20 at Stray's adding another 30 seats to our growing business. The seats are located in the two rooms that used to house our takeaway sandwich bar, next door at No.20 Middlegate. These are easily accessed from the front of the coffee bar and are fast becoming popular with our regulars who"like the high ceilings and bright space".

Now, all we have to do is work out how to make the coffees even faster!

Here are a few danger signs to tell you that your barista is creating a deathspresso (killing the poor little beans!!)

So, good luck to both Angela and Katherine.

 

Farewell Bibiana - we'll miss you...

October 23rd sees the end of our time with Bibiana who returns to her family in Colombia. She started working with us in the Sandwich bar when it opened in 2008 and then moved across to the coffee bar where she became a star-performer in our team. She has always been a fun element within the team with a great work ethic and bubbly personality.
