I’m sure the majority of Manchester readers will have seen the Koffee Pot cafe on Hilton Street in Stevenson Square. Until recently, it was just a typical Northern Quarter cafe - full of ‘interesting characters’ and greasy spoons.

But revolution is afoot, it seems. First up, they got a Myspace. Then they asked neighbouring artists to graffiti their exterior. Now they’ve launched the Teatime Sessions:

On Fridays from 5.30 we’ll be bringing you some of the bands we love, summat to eat and a bit to drink for those that arrive early enough.

Tonight’s sessions features Tim and Sam’s Tim and Sam Band with Tim and Sam. Don’t let the name put you off - they’re a cracking band, as you can hear here.

In December, the much-hyped The View played at the Koffee Pot - you can watch them on YouTube. And for more about the Koffee Pot, see its entry on the Guardian’s Been There site.
