Enjoying a beer in Cue Amsterdam. Welcoming people, happy to chat about the kit and interior to architecture and Hifi bores like me. If my living room were like this, I’d be done. Good tunes too.

I’ll pop back and give ‘em a tap tomorrow. Looked ceramic to me, Amsterdam is full of vintage shops as you probably know. I’ll be on the Eurostar dressed like John Shaft tomorrow.

Great record store a couple doors up too, called Concerto. Dangerous place.
