This week, chef is trying out some recipes from her Latino cookbook. However, before she could experiment, she needed to prepare her half-pounder special ‘The Tower Of Power’ burger with special Cymande side salad. After this she served up some quite beautiful new dishes of Harlem, Sapo & Santana. So filling was this, a walk in the park was needed before I could eat my cherry pudding with Spanky sauce. For afters, what I really really loved was a serving of Apple.

 

It’s not beneath me to beg. We still have zero reviews on iTunes. Pretty please with a cherry on top – write us one would you. We would be ever so grateful.

 

Love Creamy and all the kitchen crew xxx

A busy weekend has meant that The Gutbuster Café has had to rush its orders this week. Sorry for the delay in opening and the rushed service. However, whilst time may not be on our side, the music is. We start with a mix of an old classic from Mr JB and then a tune from Fred and the JB’s. We then wish Tru Thoughts a very happy 18th birthday. As they celebrate being able to buy craft beers and vote, we celebrate with a trip through their back catalogue. In fact, for this episode we really focus on the first few years with tunes from Quantic, Alice Russell, Hidden Orchestra, Spanky Wilson & Ohmega Watts.

We then correct an oversight at the counter with a long overdue visit of Dr John, Gil Scott-Heron, Curtis Mayfield & Quincey Jones. We finish proceedings with two masterpieces from Donny Hathaway and Nina Simone.

Please, if you have a spare few minutes, could you write us a review on iTunes. We would be ever so grateful. Love Creams xxx

After a week of quiet and relaxing at the Gutbuster café we are back to normal business. Doors opened with a couple of songs to mark the passing of the great Charles Bradley with a tune from the man himself and one from his key influence, the Godfather of Soul. We then travel Eastbound after our trip Westbound a couple of weeks back, stopping off with a tune from the Black Jazz Records collection and then for a quick blessing from The Left Reverend McD. Then (partly to show off his new vinyl purchase) Creamy sneaks in not one but two tracks from Suite London by power trio The Peddlers. Then a guest appearance from Brian Auger and Nicola Bright-Thomas on Matt Deighton’s 2nd solo album before taking a trip back in Matt’s timeline to Mother Earth days. Space is then made for two very special ladies, Miss Minnie Riperton and Rad (the latter being backed up by a whole array of Funk Royalty). We finish our fry-up with a couple helpings of red sauce, one from a baron and one from a fish.

 

If you are enjoying your weekly helpings, please share the love. We reached 100 downloads this week – how long until we can reach a thousand??

Welcome one and all – Once a month, we need to close the café for a deep clean and refresh. Therefore, on this week’s podcast, don’t expect to hear the normal funky affair. No, this week we are switching to an altogether more relaxed menu. In this session, Creamy dusted down a couple of tunes he’s been playing for a long time from Accadia, Vangelis & The Cinematic Orchestra. There’s a new/ old tune from Pink Floyd, a soundtrack from Craig Armstrong, a couple of tunes from the Late Junction comp based on the Radio 3 show of the same name from Ross Daly and Smith Quartet. There is a reimagining of a tune by the great Erik Satie (no, not that one) by Tamar Halperin, a tune from composer of the upcoming Blade Runner movie, Johann Johannsson, the Adagio Creamy used in his production of the play ‘Mala & Edek’ by Moeran and even a tune from Goldfrapp’s truly stunning (and for Creamy at least, never bettered) debut album, Felt Mountain. We hope this leaves you, cleansed, refreshed and ready to face the week. Normal service to be resumed next week.

 

Please remember to subscribe, leave a review, share, blah, blah blah…

 

Keep it on the one. Love Creamy xxx

This week we started with the promised Betty Davis track followed by Prince (even in the early albums you can hear how Larry Graham influenced Prince's bass playing). We then took a trip Westbound with a new Funkadelic mix, a very rare Bootsy (or Boots) track and Ohio Players (which is easier to type than to say for Creamy). After this we had 3 tunes that sit in that American Funk Rock category (if such a thing exists). A different version of a tune previously played by The Cinamatic Orchestra and a quite beautiful tune by Ray Charles. Our slap up was finished with a very early Earth Wind & Fine tune and possibly the last STAX single.

This week, things started dirty and quickly move to filth with some Grade A funk from Stevie, Johnny Pate, The Fatback Band and a couple of others for good measure. To clean himself up, Creamy called on the services of Terry Callier and the equilibrium was restored. There was then a rather interesting stroll down Chess Avenue to see how the label expanded from a Blues label to one of the most important American labels of the 20th Century. An unusual track from the Betty Davis lost sessions with her then husband Miles and a tune oozing with the last of the summer sun from Silvia Striplin (with a little help from Mr Ayres), rounded up a hearty slap-up special from the Gutbuster cafe

For this week’s episode, we keep things upbeat (well for most of it anyway), with the spotlight shining on some of the greatest soul sisters. We have tunes by Nina Simone, Jean Knight, Sharon Jones (and Saun & Starr – Sharon Jones’s amazing backing singers). In the acoustic section this week we celebrate the joyful news that Matt Deighton has achieved target of his Pledge Music campaign by playing the title track of his last Pledge Music campaign of the album he wrote with Chris Difford. We also play a tune from Nick Drake and a wonderful alternative version of To Build A Home from the Cinematic Orchestra’s Live At The Royal Albert Hall album. Also with tunes from Eddie Fisher, Ju-Par Universal Orchestra, Ripple, Scream & Dance & The Lyman Woodard Organisation.

A weekly show in which Creamy dips into his vinyl shelf of tunes (with the odd CD) he has brought or listened to in the past seven days. Named after the legendary Brighton all-night cafe which was a constant haven of satisfaction after a night dancing in the Jazz Rooms. Expect to hear funk, soul, rare groove, blues, jazz, acoustic, folk, electronic, ambient and chilled as well as a few original tunes from Creamy and friends- in fact a little bit of everything.
