Chef is trying out her new menus for 2018 and as such is in a slightly experimental stage. As such there is a bit of a mish mash including Little River Band, Stevie Wonder, Vera Hamilton, Spanky Wilson, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, The Cinematic Orchestra, Matt Deighton, Nick Drake, Lalomie Washburn, Rae & Christian, Pete Rock & C.L.Smooth, Groove Holmes & Ernie Watts and Jools & Jose
Thank you for the continued support and love.

Chef gave us a challenge this week. She is so sick of hearing Slade, Band Aid & Wham (actually I think she quite likes Wham, but then again, who doesn’t) that she asked us to do an hours worth of Christmas songs which she would be happy to. Is this an impossible task? I don’t know, but this is what we have come up with with help from:
Soul Saints Orchestra, Albert King, Vulpeck, Jimmy Lules & The Necular Soul System, SHron Jones & The Dap Kings, Carla Thomas, Otis Reading, The Emotions, Cix Bits, Issac Hayes, The Staple SIngers, Marvin Gaye, Funk Machine, Laura Vane & The Vipertones, Carey Bell, Earth Wind & Fire, The Salsoul Orchestra and Shawn Lee & The Ping Pog Orchestra.
Merry Christmas to all our customers. We just wouldn’t be who we are without you and we all love you very much for your continued support. Look out for a few specials on the menu over the next week or so.
Love Creamy and all the crew at Gu [...]
Chef is trying something new this week. She is noticing there can be quite a bit of leftover food and it’s just not right to throw that stuff away. Therefore, she has developed a smorgasbord of delights including Lewis Taylor, Mark Rae, 4 Hero, Andreya Traina, Belleruche, Nora Moralas, Aim, George Clinton & Prince, Broadway Project, Nightmares On Wax and Meshell Ndegeocello.
Thank you for the continued support.

Well, what a lovely surprise for Creamy this week. The owners of the café decided to close up early and we all had a party to celebrate Creams reaching 46 years of age. Chef baked a cake that would have had Mary Berry shaking with excitement. As for the owners, they did Creamy a mix tape of some tunes that were released the year of his birth. This included Gary Bartz, Esther Phillips, EW&F, Chambers Bros, Eugene McDaniel’s, Johnny Jenkins, Katie Love, Parliament, Quincey Jones, Rotary Connection, Isley Bros & The Stylistics. We then all had a game of spin the bottle but ‘What goes on in Gutbuster, stays in Gutbuster’.
Getting very near the 500 mark on Podbean alone. Thank you all you beautiful people. Have a wonderful week and keep keeping it on the one.

This week, chef is keeping things simple. It’s either chicken in a basket or a bucketful of FUNK!
The latter includes The Young Holt Trio, Curtis Mayfield, Billy Butler, Herbie Hancock, Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, Charlie Mariano, Faruk Green, James Lewis, Clarence Wheeler & The Enforcers, Fred & The New JB’s and a bit of Amp Fiddler reworking Funkadelic. There is also a nod of appreciation to Mr Steve White who yet again (with Mr Deighton & Mr Minchella) blew us away on our day trip to Whitstable. Way back in 1990 he produced an album for the Urban branch of Polydor. We play the title track featuring the amazing Sarah Jane Morris on vocals.
Thanks for the continued support you beautiful people. Any shares, reviews, smiley faces, thumbs up etc are greatly received and appreciated.
Until next week, keep it on the one. Love Creamy xxx
The boss has been reading some books on mindfulness this week and has done us a tape of relaxing music to chill to between the breakfast and lunchtime rush. It’s a good tape too with tunes from Harold Budd, Bliss, Craig Armstrong, Blank & Jones, Bombay Dub Orchestra, Tan Dun, Alice Sara Ott & Olafur Arnalds and Neuronium & Vangelis. We all feel right relaxed now and we hope from listening to it, you can share in some of our relaxed state.
Please feel free to share the tape and the love & thank you as always for downloading and listening.

This week, chef has been giving us some of her Master Cuts. This is some seriously funky food here as we celebrate one of the greatest collection of music that gets you moving. We also start by giving some serious respect to the ladies. Then we go back a little in time and venture into the jazzier side of the menu. We also launch our own Gutbuster basketball team, format our computers and finish by serving one of chef’s Gutbuster specials for Fat Freddy.
Thanking you for the continued support - please share, tweet, send carrier pigeons, whatever your fancy. Love Creamy xx
It’s been a mixed week of the chef firm favourites balanced with some new recepies. Back on the menu are tasty helpings from BGP, Soul Jazz Records & Daptone. New to the menu is a four course helping from Salsoul Records.
We then welcomed a right pair of Charlies into Cafe Gutbuster.
The session finished this week with one of our regulars, Mr Joe Bonamassa showing us 2 very different sides of his cooking expertise as he knocks together a very hearty main course followed by the most sweet of sweets.
Keep sharing the love please and for those of you who have made this a weekly trip to the cafe - THANK YOU. We are nothing without you.
Love Creamy & all the staff at Gutbusters xxx
It’s as if someone is getting marred this week as the café falls into the cliché of:
Something old
Something new
Something borrowed (sort of)
Something blue (ish)
Ok, so we ran out of steam a little at the end but we do feature no fewer than 6 new tunes as well as some established classics. There is also 1 or 2 tunes that maybe a little removed from the normal Gutbuster affair but they find a spot on their own credit.
Thank you for listening and keep spreading the word. Our weekly downloads are slowly rising and that’s all down to you lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

2 for the price of one weekend at the Gutbuster cafe. Not only was there a Blade Runner Special, but there was also another chilled sessions, and what a fine session it was - featuring tunes from Jaco, Alpha, Nitin Sawney, Vermont, Ekko, Miles, Max Richter, Eraldo Bernocchi & Harold Budd and Bill Evens.
We hope you have enjoyed the chilled songs this weekend. Next week we’ll be back to normal funky service.
To celebrate 200 downloads, we’ve decorated the cafe for a Blade Runner special. Expect music from the quite amazing Blade Runner 2049, the equally amazing Blade Runner 3CD special edition as well a visit from Jean-Michel Jarre and a track from the recent Soul Jazz records which has more than a hint of Vangelis about it.
Thank you for the continued support. We hope you enjoy this special bonus episode.
This week, chef is trying out some recipes from her Latino cookbook. However, before she could experiment, she needed to prepare her half-pounder special ‘The Tower Of Power’ burger with special Cymande side salad. After this she served up some quite beautiful new dishes of Harlem, Sapo & Santana. So filling was this, a walk in the park was needed before I could eat my cherry pudding with Spanky sauce. For afters, what I really really loved was a serving of Apple.
It’s not beneath me to beg. We still have zero reviews on iTunes. Pretty please with a cherry on top – write us one would you. We would be ever so grateful.

A busy weekend has meant that The Gutbuster Café has had to rush its orders this week. Sorry for the delay in opening and the rushed service. However, whilst time may not be on our side, the music is. We start with a mix of an old classic from Mr JB and then a tune from Fred and the JB’s. We then wish Tru Thoughts a very happy 18th birthday. As they celebrate being able to buy craft beers and vote, we celebrate with a trip through their back catalogue. In fact, for this episode we really focus on the first few years with tunes from Quantic, Alice Russell, Hidden Orchestra, Spanky Wilson & Ohmega Watts.
We then correct an oversight at the counter with a long overdue visit of Dr John, Gil Scott-Heron, Curtis Mayfield & Quincey Jones. We finish proceedings with two masterpieces from Donny Hathaway and Nina Simone.
Please, if you have a spare few minutes, could you write us a review on iTunes. We would be ever so grateful. Love Creams xxx
After a week of quiet and relaxing at the Gutbuster café we are back to normal business. Doors opened with a couple of songs to mark the passing of the great Charles Bradley with a tune from the man himself and one from his key influence, the Godfather of Soul. We then travel Eastbound after our trip Westbound a couple of weeks back, stopping off with a tune from the Black Jazz Records collection and then for a quick blessing from The Left Reverend McD. Then (partly to show off his new vinyl purchase) Creamy sneaks in not one but two tracks from Suite London by power trio The Peddlers. Then a guest appearance from Brian Auger and Nicola Bright-Thomas on Matt Deighton’s 2nd solo album before taking a trip back in Matt’s timeline to Mother Earth days. Space is then made for two very special ladies, Miss Minnie Riperton and Rad (the latter being backed up by a whole array of Funk Royalty). We finish our fry-up with a couple helpings of red sauce, one from a baron and o [...]
Welcome one and all – Once a month, we need to close the café for a deep clean and refresh. Therefore, on this week’s podcast, don’t expect to hear the normal funky affair. No, this week we are switching to an altogether more relaxed menu. In this session, Creamy dusted down a couple of tunes he’s been playing for a long time from Accadia, Vangelis & The Cinematic Orchestra. There’s a new/ old tune from Pink Floyd, a soundtrack from Craig Armstrong, a couple of tunes from the Late Junction comp based on the Radio 3 show of the same name from Ross Daly and Smith Quartet. There is a reimagining of a tune by the great Erik Satie (no, not that one) by Tamar Halperin, a tune from composer of the upcoming Blade Runner movie, Johann Johannsson, the Adagio Creamy used in his production of the play ‘Mala & Edek’ by Moeran and even a tune from Goldfrapp’s truly stunning (and for Creamy at least, never bettered) debut album, Felt Mountain. We hope this leaves you, cle [...]
This week we started with the promised Betty Davis track followed by Prince (even in the early albums you can hear how Larry Graham influenced Prince’s bass playing). We then took a trip Westbound with a new Funkadelic mix, a very rare Bootsy (or Boots) track and Ohio Players (which is easier to type than to say for Creamy). After this we had 3 tunes that sit in that American Funk Rock category (if such a thing exists). A different version of a tune previously played by The Cinamatic Orchestra and a quite beautiful tune by Ray Charles. Our slap up was finished with a very early Earth Wind & Fine tune and possibly the last STAX single.
