What we were up to on the weekend

Once again, we had a good time on Saturday with food and music. Our man Wes reports:

It was a great gig on Saturday night with Andrew Clark and, yes, it was recorded. Andrew and I (Wes) are going to listen to some tracks today to see if a live album is in the mix.

Andrew was “spot on” as he played till 11:00pm. It was a good mix of songs, from originals to covers that ranged from Mark Knofler to John Denver. And there was story told for every song.

His guitar work was stunning and vocal and whistling was a “buttery” as ever.

Coming up next at the Urban Deli? Wes tells us it will be Bare Bones. (Details to follow, as the expression goes.)

Music tomorrow night

Just a reminder that tomorrow night at 8:00 pm we’ll be welcoming Andrew Clark to the Urban Deli for another of our musical Saturday nights. He’s from across the pond (Leeds) and our music guru Wes tells us, “His vocals have been compared to Roger Whittaker meets James Taylor.” Should be interesting!

Hope you can join us!

A wrap and a jam (food and music)

What a week! The Chop Chop “Feast”-ival is a wrap and it sounds like a lot of people enjoyed a lot of good food from a lot of Uptown’s diverse restaurants. Including the Urban Deli! We received some really nice compliments about our Montreal Smoked Meat pizza.

And wow! Did we ever have fun Saturday night with Terry Whalen and his performance. Our music man Wes Jagoe joined him later, as did a few others, and they were jamming for quite some time. Here’s what our man Wes had to say:

Terry Whalen’s performance Saturday night was a roller coaster mix of good old rockin’ country and grass roots blues right from the delta itself; a one man army not afraid to chance the trenches for the sake of the song.

His own songs were well delivered pieces of love and woe tapestries, all introduced by a story. Terry performed a great range of music. Yes, from AC/DC’s “It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll,” all the way to John Cougar’s “Pink Houses.” And it was all glued together with an oozing baritone tinge.

Hats off to a great performance.

Saturday coming up, we’ll have Andrew Clark and we expect we’ll have just as much fun. Hope you can join us!

A music update

We’re excited about Saturday night (Nov. 7). Terry Whalen will join us for a solo performance here at the Urban Deli. He’s a roots, rock, blues kind of a guy and we love that sort of thing. If you’d like a bit of info, have a look at our Live Music page or have a look at the Terry Whalen Band site.

Coming up for the Saturday following, November 14, we’ll be welcoming Andrew Clark to the Urban Deli. Wes, our music guy, tell us Andrew hales from Leeds, England and is, “… a gifted song smith and fine guitar player.”
