The Country Café opened its doors on 5th October with a night to remember. This wasn't just any night, it was the first live performance since the Café's transformation into the hub for country and blues music fans. And what better way to kick things off than with Menno, a country singer-songwriter all the way from the Netherlands, who had just preformed at the O2 for London’s country fans.

Menno took the stage with style, delivering two fantastic 45-minute sets. The room was packed with fans, both local and from further afield, eager to catch live music and to witness the new vibe of the Country Café. As soon as he strummed the first chords, it was clear that the night was going to be great. He played a mix of his own heartfelt originals alongside some well-loved covers, each. But the true highlight? A soul-stirring rendition of the Foo Fighters' classic, Times Like These. It was a moment that had everyone singing along.

This isn’t just a one-off. The Country Café is here to be the UK’s go-to venue for live country music, a place where fans can count on a welcoming atmosphere, great drinks, and even better music. With its warm lighting, rustic touches, and relaxed vibe, the Café has been reborn to cater to anyone with a love for country and blues, becoming the perfect listening room.

Menno’s performance proved just that. Between his powerful vocals and the energy he brought to each song, it was hard to imagine a better way to start this new chapter. He performed everything from foot-tapping anthems to mellow, reflective songs, giving everyone a taste of real country music. During the break, fans mingled, sipped on the café’s signature drinks, and buzzed with excitement about what’s to come next in the Country Café’s music line-up.

So, if you’re looking for live country music in the UK, keep an eye on The Country Café.
