"...In between sets, as we sat on the curb outside the bar watching STIK the graffiti artist paint, I asked my stylish, sports car-driving companion what he thought of it all. 'I feel so cutting edge!' he exclaimed. It occured to me that maybe these friendly, fringe-y art nights could take off as some sort of reaction to bleak financial times and online alienation, although that would probably ruin them. But as I walked through the City and Shoreditch, past techno-pumping nightclubs, chic bars and boozy pubs on my way home, I felt just the tiniest bit smugly superior for having gone to Limehouse to have a night of Cock & Bull instead."
