Sip'n'Save at Siopaella:
Two of my favourite things about Dublin are the music and the shopping scenes. As a true and very faithful Dub (hon the Dubs) I have
come to know where the best places to find both are. From up and coming indie
bands in Whelans to The Foggy Dew’s Sunday night scat band there really is a
diverse range of music to be found.
Now, shopping is another thing that Dublin does
quite well. However, in order to find the best places to shop for one off gems
you really need to know where to go. In my unbiased opinion I really believe
Siopaella is the best place to shop to be able to find pieces that are
different to the high street. I say that without bias as I have been both a
customer and consignor before I began working here (now I have the triple
whammy as an employee).
So Dublin, with its diverse music and unique shopping… What happens
when we blend the two? If you’re like me it’s a dream come true (rhyming was unintended).
Well, ladies and gentlemen, Siopaella is here to make that dream a reality.
On Thursday 10th July, we at Siopaella are
hosting a Sip’n’Save party. There will be music on the night by the gorgeous singer
Valerie Coyne and her band mates Carole Nelson (piano) and Bill Blackmore (trumpet). Having had the privilege to have already heard this
trio in an intimate gig in the Odessa I can guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
Her pitch perfect voice is fluid-like and flawless with soft tones when needed and
powerful moments that would make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Not only will your ears be kissed by the sweet music and
your taste buds refreshed by delicious nibbles and drinks but your wallet will
also reap the benefits as there will be special discounts in-store on the
night. It really does not get any better than that…well other than the fact
that we’ll be there and we really are the best company (toot toot – that’s us
tooting our own horns).
However, there is catch but it is entirely up to you whether
or not you play along. We’re hoping that for one night only Siopaella will be
transformed into a world away from 21st century Temple Bar and into
a New York, underground, smoky, cocktail club (smoking is still prohibited but
you know a girl can imagine). So, to do this we need your help. We would love
for you guys to dress up. Think vintage cocktails,
speakeasies and prohibition era America. Even if it’s just a feather boa,
streams of pearls or a sleek bob hairstyle we’ll love you forever for trying.
All you have to do now is say yes, cancel all plans you had
for that night (it’s going to be a lonely night for my cat) and show up. We’re
going to make the effort and dress up and we hope you do too J
