Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Cafe-cum-Musical Instrument Shop for the Lanes
© Google Inc
Nothing seems to stand still for long on Harringay's high street these days. A couple of days back Liz reported the demise of the Deniz 1 off-licence. As I went by today I saw a couple of guys chatting in the store and stuck my nose in to see what I could find out.
I met Emre Kubilay from the Penguin Music School just opposite the Allison Road church. Emre is a london based film music composer who is also a musician. He told me that 461 Green Lanes is to become a music instument shop-cum-cafe with live music. He strssed that for the cafe side of things his focus would be on really good coffee.
Sounds good to me!

No, but I'm sure Emre would be happy to answer any questions. So next time you're up at B&B, pop in and say hi.

That's great news. Our son's been doing guitar at Penguin for a year now and it's a fantastic place (plus Emre is a thoroughly top bloke, so it should be in good hands).

Oh, this sounds really exciting! I'm getting back into my music this year after many years and it would be great to have somewhere nearby - especially if they offered repairs/etc. And if they had practice rooms for solo musicians that would be even better (it's difficult practising any kind of instrument when you live in a shared terrace house!)

Wonderful that this is getting near to opening. Won't have to travel as far to get guitar strings.

Bun and Bar, Beans and Barley, Music and Beans - Green Lanes is becoming like one of those word changing games. Sounds like a good addition - that music school always looks very busy.

Cots & Beds has recently been put to bed. Disney, having just struggled into its second century, is having a Closing Down Sale. It'll probably become another Turkish or Kurdish Kebab joint - but why not Cots & Coffee? Beds and Beanz? Barley & Brothel?

Aha, the news is out. I heard about this a few months back and have been hoping there would be an opportunity to find an interesting tenant. As far as I'm aware this hasn't happened.
