The First Ever Coco Dial Up is a Roaring Success!




Thanks so much to everyone who came and made our first ever Coco Dial Up such a success! Here's a little round up of the evening as penned by Linda Anderson:


Coco CafĂ© in Croxley Green was packed out for the first ever Coco Dial Up on Thursday September 13th. This is the third venue for Dial Up, which began life at the Seven Dials Club in Covent Garden before expanding to the Watford Palace Theatre.

Host and singer Alex Williams describes these monthly events as a celebration of community and creativity. The Dial Up website emphasises they are: “all about enjoying live music and performance in all its forms. Alongside singers of every style and genre we regularly welcome instrumentalists, authors, poets, actors, magicians and even dancers!”

Alex explained, ‘while continuing our famous open mic sessions the Coco Dial Up will also have something of an edge, with a jazz and literary focus. As well as more music each month, it means we can experiment with play readings and poetry recitals, workshops and rehearsals that we couldn’t really do at our Palace Theatre event.’

As a first night special Coco’s owner Beth Devonshire provided a free glass of bubbly for all guests, along with a bespoke cupcake. 

One of the audience, Judith Bruni, said: “This gets people together and it is really fun. It’s astonishing how talented people are and this gives them an opportunity.”

Do join us for our future events, details below and on the Coco Dates page! Much love, Alex xx
