The St Cuthbert's Street Christmas Specials
This first film from our tryptic of live sessions, features Luke Tuchscherer.
Luke has travelled far and wide and after a hiatus in New York, is now back home with three cracking Americana tinged tracks, recorded live at The Flying Cork in Bedford. Expect hard hitting story telling with alt-country, folk and Americana roots which will be imbedded in to your frontal cortex for weeks to come [plus a very cool Christmas song too].
Huge thanks to the following businesses for making this happen: Beerfly; Roosters Sandwich Bar; Vanilla Tree; The Store; Bears & Tales; Rice Thai Restaurant: The Flying Cork; Three Hills Brewing. Produced by blender, filmed and edited by Andrew ‘Mash’ Marshall and recorded by Josh Tuncel.

Le Fou Pinot Noir, Pays d’Oc

Boutinot Côtes du Rhône Villages

A rich, intense, full-bodied red wine with black plum, black cherry, cocoa and vanilla spice notes.
CLAYMORE, LONDON CALLING, CABERNET MALBEC

FOX CREEK ‘RED BARON’ SHIRAZ

Fox Creek’s eye-catching Red Baron’ Shiraz is a very easy drinking and made in a young, fresh and fruity style so it is approachable and ready to crack open.
