For playing jazz today as the background music in their South Shields (King Street) branch, and at a sensible volume, not too intrusive but loud enough for my enjoyment. We were treated to a Dave Brubeck number, from Time Out I think, one of those tunes with an odd time signature where each line of music seems intriguingly not quite complete. Then came various jazz standards by various vocalists, including East Of The Sun and What Is This Thing Called Love.

Hello Ann! I too always appreciate decent background music in shops&cafés. If it is something to my liking I hang around, therefore am likely to spend more money, and what is more it brightens my mood.
Liz, Lovely to hear from you. I guess York is a good place to get good music in cafes, and at a sensible level. I'll contact you if I visit there in the Summer. Ann
