Diesel at The Vanguard!
Article written by Tiger Bennett.
It was cold, dark and windy. Friends and I were walking aimlessly down King Street Newtown. We were looking for a warm meal, good old fashioned hospitality and music to blow our minds.
We looked up and there stood an establishment called ‘The Vanguard’. Signs displayed outside the venue saying “Diesel playing tonight!”
We walked up the short staircase and there stood a smiling face. “You’re here to see Diesel”, said the young lass. I looked around the room, set out in a 1920’s style feel. The smell of sizzling steak and roasted potatoes. A bar that stretched from one side of the room to the other. People laughing and sipping there cocktails and ales.
As we took our seats and enjoyed our warm meals, we drank and sat enjoying each others company. We were waiting in anticipation for the main act. A man that is as true blue as they come, a man that has talent oozing out of his every pore.
Diesel, Diesel, Diesel, the chant around the room was building. The noise becoming deafening and then out from behind the curtain stood Diesel.
As I sat listening to his wonderful skills on the guitar and singing from the bottom of his lungs. There stood on a stage a true entertainer. A man that just had everyone in the club listening to every word! He played for hours, using a magnitude of guitars. Playing and singing an eclectic a ray of songs.
The Vanguard was awesome! The food was brilliant. The service was unbelievable and the environment was warm and friendly. And if you haven’t had the pleasure in seeing Diesel play live, do yourself a favour and catch one of his many gigs around the burbs of Sydney! Tell them Two Flat Whites sent you………….
The Vanguard is situated at 42 King Street, Newtown.
