On Monday night Shang Ting and I headed to The Brudenell Boozaar, an event organized by our friends at Vintage Wardrobe, who recently claimed the Leeds Retail Therapy award for Best Vintage shop in Leeds. The night was filled with music, vintage clothing, cupcakes and face paints!
The atmosphere was great. The Brudenell Social Club already has a cool vibe mainly because it has kept the same setting even though, over the years, it has become a very popular place where great bands, such as The Kaiser Chiefs, have started out and returned to for secret gigs. It still has cheap drinks and good ol' Ben Shaw soft drinks that make you feel like a kid again.
The music act that started off the evening was Ben Peel and The Wool City Folk Club, followed by Geraint John Jones, Lucy Alexandra Howson and Ols Moore And The Gypsy Dogs. We briefly spoke to Ben Peel before he left the event and he seemed like a very nice guy with a lot of passion for music.
The event had a great set up with Vintage stalls by Ringlit, New Retro, Space and Spun to Gold surrounding the stage and there were a large selection of cupcakes by Sugar Rose - Cakes designed by Rebecca lined up along one side of the room. Shang Ting and I both treated ourselves to one each but we could have easily eaten the whole batch. From Retro sweets cupcakes to Strawberry daquiri cupcakes, they were a fabulous touch to the night.
All in all it was a nice event, very friendly, intimate and a great chance to catch up with our friends.
