Little Urn Rocks!

Our Kelly with The Horrors... and Little Urn!

When we heard that Josh from The Horrors is a massive Yorkshire Tea fan, we decided to pack up Little Urn and take a trip to London to surprise him at the band's appearance at Xfm Winter Wonderland in Brixton. But as with any good road trip, not everything went exactly according to plan…

On the day of the gig (and approximately 50 miles from London) we got word that Faris, the lead singer, had lost his voice and the band had been forced to pull out of the gig! It seemed that all was lost and Josh would have to wait a while longer for a proper brew. However, after some help from The Horrors' management team and some expert negotiation of busy London streets in rush hour traffic, Little Urn pitched up in Central London to meet Josh and the band to cheer them up after the disappointment of not being able to perform - with their very own Horrors tea!

There is no doubt that Josh appreciated a proper brew, telling us as he climbed aboard Urn that his Mum had taught him to brew up before he could talk and they only ever drank Yorkshire Tea!

After that, it was on to Brixton Academy to make a special delivery to The Kaiser Chiefs, although we may have started a riot of our own backstage with the boys apparently fighting over their special box of Kaiser Chiefs' Tea…

Both bands were quick to tweet about their proper brews and soon another Yorkshire band, The Pigeon Detectives, were telling the Twittersphere of their love for Yorkshire Tea too. Looks like Little Urn might not need to wait too long till his next gig!
