For Krug & Chips, the high-end Champagne company has teamed up with Michelin starred chef Tom Sellers, in order for the chef to provide his own take on Fish & Chips. However, instead of...

By Will Bateman (WillBateman6611) 22.5.2015, Village Underground, London Leon Bridges takes to the stage with effortless cool, dressed 50s smart with a shirt and bow tie, guitar in hand, launching into his set with one of his lesser-known songs, the swinging and jiving “What Can I Do?” His on-stage-banter is short but appropriately slick.
