Last Sunday we welcomed the cast and crew of Liam Fender’s new music video – Time Comes Around, into Cafe 1879. It was an honour to see our cafe so vibrant and Bedford Street become home to obscure sights, Shields’ finest, and lots of passers-by looking confused. It was an excellent day for the whole of North Shields. Liam’s team used Cafe 1879 as their base all day to rehydrate and enjoy a tasty homemade curry, and we’re sure they will be back!
Sunday was a reminder of why we love what we do. Our cafe is more than just a place to grab a quick bite or a cup of coffee – it’s a community, a hub of creativity and inspiration, and a place where anything is possible. We can’t wait to see the final product of Liam’s music video and to relive the memories of that unforgettable day. And who knows – maybe we’ll have the opportunity to host more amazing artists and creatives in the future.
Well done Liam, well done to the team and everyone at the YMCA!
