Bom-Bane’s doesn’t stop after the Festival: every Monday in June, Jo Game and Linda May are offering workshops on Playing the Spoons, concert on the 30th.  Robin and Bina Williamson (at Bom-Bane’s on 7th June) were praised by Robert Plant, who called their act 'the highlight of the 2012 Acoustic Festival'. On Thursday 13th, Station Cloud 99 brings you folk singer/storyteller Peter Castle, Rosie and Bernd, and Tim Keegan. Sunday 16th June sees Clayson Sings Chanson. On the road since 2011, originally to tie in with the most recent edition of his Jacques Brel biography (the first in English), Clayson has been described as “a man possessed”, and The Independent just says: “It would be difficult to explain to the uninitiated what to expect.” Which is a good way to describe Bom-Bane’s itself. 

 

The restaurant runs inspired regular events like the Homework Club every Wednesday after school from 4 to 6pm. Two experienced, patient and qualified homework supervisors are always available to help students who are stuck and Bombane’s provides a nutritious meal at the same time. The food is sourced from reputable local suppliers and prepared on the premises.

Following Wednesday’s Homework Club, Bombane’s offers Food and Film (to grown-ups) for a Flabbergasting £5.55! On Tuesdays and Thursdays they sometimes have music downstairs but not surprisingly, they specialise in parties of 10-40. You can sit at a long monastery table with lots of friends or on the back seat of a comfy old car in a cosy nook with one special one... 

To see the Edinburgh show starring Jane Bom-Bane and Kate Daisy Grant (two award-winners for the price of one!) please book a two course meal (£15 a head) at the cafe for Friday 14th June on 01273 606400 or email Jane.  Stand-up Dave Gorman commented: “Utterly refreshing – unlike anything I’ve ever seen or heard before”.  You could always try an utterly refreshing coffee to go with it.
