Just read on Hullvibe's front page about Kiki n Bouba, the new bar in Hessle. Sounds a bit high concept (read=wanky) to me. What happened to just going out for a drink somewhere where the atmosphere was dictated by the music policy rathe than some arty concepts about shapes and market research into what fonts people relate to a made up word? Maybe I'm too old (26). I'll reserve proper judgement until I can check it out for myself
However it did say at the beginning of the piece that the Weir is back in business... what's going on? My mate worked there and was mighty pissed off to be told they were all being made redundant. I think it would have to be in serious trouble to close after less than 6 months of trading, after spending 500k on the refurb. But to reopen 2 months later... sounds like some sort of dodgy tax fiddle to me. Allegedly...
Hessle strikes me as being a bit like Beverley.....ideas above their station
Put a couple of crappy boutiques and a couple of pretentious bars in a parochial backwater and all of a sudden they think they live in Shoreditch or Islington
