Exciting news folks! Cool Beans is coming to the big smoke! For those who don’t know, ‘the big smoke’ is slang for LDN. And ‘LDN’ is short for ‘LONDON’. We’re coming to London basically, Hackney to be exact.

Yes indeed, after many years putting on events in Sheffield, running festival stages and the occasional party in Bristol – we’re extremely excited to announce a brand new monthly London residency!

It’s all taking place at Hackney Wick’s Number 90 Bar & Kitchen, entry is free and we’ve got a world-class DJ/AV artist booked for the first one…

DJ CHEEBA (AV SHOW)

Hailed as one of the most progressive audio visual artists around today, DJ Cheeba has found an audience world wide with his unique style of turntablism and video manipulation.

You may know him from his Lo-Fi Funky Space Quest & Return To The Boom Bap projects, as well of course his massively popular Caught In The Middle Of A 3 Way Mix which he created alongisde DJ Moneyshot and DJ Food.

Best experienced live, Cheeba has performed worldwide with tours spanning UK, Europe, Australia and Canada as well as being a regular on the UK and European festival circuit. A truly versatile performer, he’ll be smashing out an AV/DJ set for the Cool Beans at Number 90 Launch Party and frankly – we cannot wait!

The man has tons of stuff online for you to sink your teeth into, here are a few of our favourites…

“Genius… Great work!!” — Z-Trip
“Cheeba is one super-creative dude!” — DJ Yoda

COOL BEANS DJs & HOST CHRIS ARNOLD

Cool Beans is coming to town!

Ahoy all!

Apologies for the lack of output with regards to Cool Beans related shenanigans in the past few months/years. It’s been a busy old time for all involved. Chris has moved to Bristol and now works for Made in Bristol TV as an Alan Partridge/Richard Madely impersonator, Jimmy spends his evenings sailing his boat through a sea of freshers, the Welsh Whisperer has smashed apart the welsh language scene and is now seen as a heavenly deity by many there, Dom is in London and has cut down his booze intake to only 6 units an hour and Mickey Michaels, well, Mickey Michaels married Nikki Michaels and lived happily ever after.

With Chris moving to the vibrant hub of creativity that is Bristol, it made sense to perhaps put on a little party, and he’s doing just that – so if you happen to live in Bristol, or be in the area on the 6th October, come on down for a special evening of live music at Mr. Wolfs!

THE STIFF JOINTS

The mighty Stiff Joints put on a hell of a show whether they’re headinling a festival billing or packing out a sweaty pub. Think Madness, Bad Manners, Reel Big Fish, etc – big brass hooks and catchy singalong choruses. A real treat to have them headlining our first Bristol show.

MAD APPLE CIRCUS

Mad Apple Circus have spent the whole summer slamming festivals (including a main stage apperance at Boomtown Fair!) and they’ll be performing a sweet stripped back acoustic set for us all. Ska/reggae/hiphop/jazz delights in a Bristone style.

COOL BEANS DJS + MR WOLFS DJS

A whole variety of DJs playing the platters that matter from 8PM right until 4AM!

No advance tickets, just £3/£4 on the door!

For more info, have a wander over to the FB event here here!

Along the way, there may be a few more Bristol based musical adventures on the way in the coming months so stay tuned!

Cool Beans. X

Hello all!

Apologies about being so slack on the blog / updating the website front. We’ve been spending literally every second we have making a television show. And we know what you’re thinking, who let these clowns have a television show? Well Sheffield Live TV have!

That’s right, 9:30PM every Saturday on Freeview channel 8, Virgin channel 159 and uploaded to everyone’s favourite up and coming website YouTube swiftly after.

We’re doing 6 episodes in total, each 20 minutes. The first one went out last Saturday the 27th September and can found on the Television page of our website as well as our YouTube. We have 5 more on the way, all of them stooped in sketches, features, guests, performances, gags and in the words of one of our cameramen – general bafflement.

It’s something we were thinking about for some time, releasing an online Cool Beans TV show that is. But since the opportunity to produce something that’s going out over actual television airwaves came up we figured this was too good an opportunity to miss!

All this interest you? Well here’s a little trailer we knocked up….

Still interested? Well what are you waiting for, get watching then!

Hope you guys enjoy the shows and we’ll see you at the end of the month for a 4th birthday / end of series party!
