Hello Friends, Winter is Here

As the first snowflakes dust Harrogate, we at AAA have officially embraced the season. With a cosy fire in spirit and the heady aroma of freshly brewed mulled wine filling the air, there’s something undeniably magical about this time of year. Our place on Cold Bath Road has become the perfect haven for warmth, music, and community.

And we’ve got exciting news to share. Our podcast, now rebranded as Hello Friends, just dropped its latest episode! Whether you’re snowed in or enjoying the festive buzz around town, there’s no better time to tune in.

Taylor: The Heart of Musical Democracy

At the centre of AAA lies our signature innovation: Taylor, a jukebox experience like no other. This isn’t your typical dusty jukebox sitting in a corner. Taylor is the beating heart of musical democracy—giving everyone a voice in the music that fills our space.

By simply scanning a QR code, you can access Taylor, browse the playlist, and add your choice to the queue. It’s collaborative curation at its finest, where every patron contributes to the vibe. Taylor’s genius lies in its simplicity:

  • Accessible via mobile
  • Updated in real time
  • A seamless blend of software, sound, and social connection

Whether you’re dropping by for a coffee, mulled wine, or one of our signature vinyl listening sessions, Taylor makes sure your music matters.

Winter Vibes at AAA

When we’re not obsessing over Taylor’s latest playlist, AAA is alive with activity. Here’s what’s happening this winter:

  • Mulled Wine Season: Our seasonal brew is officially here! Perfectly spiced and best enjoyed with friends, it’s the ultimate winter warmer.
  • Vinyl Listening Library: Curl up in one of our booths with a record of your choice, pop on the headphones, and lose yourself in the music. Our collection spans decades of iconic albums, and our December recommendations include a mix of soulful classics and holiday gems.
  • Small Venue, Big Energy: Our intimate space for live events and private hires is the perfect place to host your winter gatherings. Bonus? The bar is always stocked.

Why AAA is Harrogate’s Home for Music

From morning brews to late-night grooves, AAA is more than just a coffee house. It’s a space for discovery, inspiration, and connection. Open daily from 8:30 am to 11:00 pm, we’re here for your early starts and your late-night brainstorming sessions.

And with our ongoing Album of the Month sessions, there’s always something fresh to experience. This winter, we’ll be diving into:

  • Donny Hathaway’s Extension of a Man
  • Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories
  • Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon

Each session is an intimate exploration of the artistry, story, and production behind these iconic records.

What’s Next for AAA?

As we wrap up another incredible year, we’re already planning what’s next for AAA. From expanding the Taylor system to taking our jukebox on the road (watch this space for updates on the Taylor Mobile Project!), 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting year.

In the meantime, come join us. Whether it’s for mulled wine, a coffee, or simply to vibe with the music, AAA is the perfect place to escape the cold and warm your soul.
