Wednesday 27 August 2025. Happy Birthday to GLEN MATLOCK who is 69 today. Glen has just finished a UK and European Tour with The Sex Pistols with Frank Carter. There were no London shows on the tour. I have seen all six London shows by them 2024/2025. -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Tuesday 26 August 2025...6.45pm to 9.15pm.... Press preview - PINTXITO , Under The Arches, 34 The Market , Covent Garden London WC2. Camino are opening Pintxito, a new Basque pintxo bar in Covent Garden's piazza. Pintxito will be a pretty intimate kind of place, with space for just 30 diners inside (and enough room for 10 more on the terrace), serving up a range of Basque-inspired pintxos. The designers are hoping to make coming here feel just like entering a bar somewhere in Bilbao or San Sebastian. So you can expect to find the traditional counter displaying a range of 15-20 pintxos. Think baby squid in squid ink and gildas, or maybe king oyster mushrooms with piquillo and salsa verde. As this is a Basque bar, the drinks list will reflect that with white, rose and sparkling txakoli, Rioja Alavesa, beer, cider and gin. --------------- PINTXITO opens this week. It is hidden away in the corner downstairs. A small space mixing tables , with sitting on stools. The tables were taken , so we were at stools. We first have several small plates to share. We both had a very yummy Baked Basque Cheesecake . Along with a few glasses of sparking wine and red wine . It certainly has the vibe of being in Northern Spain. Enjoyable.
