Facebook loves our Malta excursions vlogs

We are huge fans of Malta and on our recent creative trip over the summer of 2017 Cooper produced a number of clips, and it seems Facebook loves our Malta excursions vlogs!

Very exciting for us.

The best Malta excursions

Our most most popular of the Malta excursions vlogs showcased the capital city Valletta – Europe’s first planned city.

 

Followed by the prettiest waterfront spots we could find.

This is my favourite – check out the kid at the beginning here (too funny).

 

Around 60,000 organic reach and counting for our Malta vlogs series, helped along by a very supportive and loving Facebook community of fellow fans of the island who shared our inspired content.

 

All this was filmed and edited on an iPhone SE, so if you’re into making your own videos, all you really need is your phone. We’ve documented other tips here also.

Piano Works London – brunch, and free bubbles for you!

Piano Works London – brunch, and free bubbles for you!

~

We recently heard whispers about a place called The Piano Works that’s reported to offer some of the best fun in London.

Big talk. London is a cool place!

Curious, we investigated further, only to discover that a new Sunday brunch menu was being launched at The Piano Works just in time for autumn.

For only £20 guests can enjoy bottomless Prosecco for two hours on Saturday; £15 on Sundays; or bottomless Bloody Marys for £20 on Saturdays and Sundays. The food menu is reasonably priced and good quality.

An inexpensive weekend bottomless brunch in the middle of the city! How can it get any better?

It actually does get better than just great food and drink deals though because The Piano Works is indeed London’s only non-stop live music venue.

So, no matter what time of the day you venture inside this fabulous restaurant/bar in Farringdon, central London, you’ll have the pleasure of listening to superb singers and musicians.

When we were there, a male and female singer took the lead, both playing piano and dazzling us with an array of contemporary and classic hits. Surprisingly, they even played a sweet 90s track by Aussie pop group Savage Garden (my fave!).

The live music element totally changes the energy of the place and your mood. We absolutely loved it.

The Piano Works is bigger inside than you might imagine from looking in the front entrance, and it can get very very busy, especially later in the day.

It’s actually perfect for getting together with friends for a day or nighttime catch-up and celebration, but we’ve been advised you should book a table in advance.

There’s a number of cosy spaces on offer, including band-view tables near the bar, booths and private areas. For more, take a look at our clip at the bottom of this blog.

The bar here is lovely, as are the staff, and you can order a range of yummy cocktails and drinks.

The Piano Works has attracted its fair share of celebrity clientele too, and has even been featured in an episode of television’s Made in Chelsea (another of my guilty pleasures).

After having the chance to go once, we have already encouraged friends to book brunch and a day or night (or both) here too. When we shared some snaps on Facebook during our time there, other local friends commented saying The Piano Works is their favourite place to go out for food, a drink and a dance. Can’t believe we didn’t know about this spot before now!

The Piano Works really is fun, and for all ages (important for those of us who get a bit uncomfortable in the club scene these days, as much as we feel young at heart).

Throw in delicious food, upbeat live music and bottomless bubbles and I’m sold, obviously.

To top it off, you can even request songs on their napkins – and, the band play all requests that they can squeeze into their sets.

We feel really lucky to have found this place – it’s beyond your average bar or restaurant and definitely a cool London experience. One that won’t break the bank either. Cheers to that!

Take a look inside for yourself…
