By Our Reporter There are Sundays you forget by Tuesday. The kind that blurs into the week ahead without ceremony, quiet meals, early bedtimes and the slow surrender to Monday. And then there are Sundays that settle into your memory like a good whisky: slowly, warmly and with the quiet insistence that you will not be forgetting them anytime soon. That is exactly the kind of Sunday that unfolded at Thrones Bar Lounge and Restaurant on 24th May for the Bottle Turnup dubbed “Boozy Brunch”, courtesy of Johnnie Walker. Nobody planned for the evening to feel this complete. And yet,…

By Our Reporter There are dinners where guests simply eat, and there are evenings where every course feels like a conversation. Chef Marcelino Dgedge’s Chef’s Table at Kardamom & Koffee belonged firmly in the latter category. Held on Saturday night in an atmosphere softened by warm lighting, low jazz, clinking glassware and quiet conversation, the exclusive dining experience drew together Kampala’s curious cultural crowd; art collectors, diplomats, media personalities, marketers and culinary enthusiasts all gathered around a table that celebrated storytelling through food. What unfolded over the evening was less of a formal fine dining service and more of a…

By Our Reporter There was a time when Shola Ama’s Still Believe was more than just a song on Kampala radio stations. Released in 1999, off her In Return album, the track became one of those records that quietly attached itself to a generation. It is said that the song played through school dormitories, parties, taxis and dance floors, while simultaneously confusing teenagers who probably did not yet understand what heartbreak actually meant. But on Sunday evening, at Mezo Noir, none of that mattered. The crowd knew every lyric anyway. As the chorus floated through, during The Old School…

By Our Reporter The Tusker Lite Neon Raves auditions in Kampala had one assignment: find the city’s best dance crews. What unfolded at Supremacy Lounge on Saturday night was something far more entertaining; beautiful chaos, raw ambition, moments of brilliance and a reminder that dancing in your seat and performing under pressure are two completely different sports. Fast feet, happy faces and nervous bounces filled the venue long before the first crew hit the stage. While seated, many dancers looked unstoppable, rehearsing routines in their minds, mimicking moves and hyping themselves up. But once the spotlight came on, reality arrived…

By Our Reporter On Sunday, one thing was for certain: if you were donning a non-Arsenal jersey during the Premier League’s season finale watch party, you felt out of place. It was like: ‘if you’re not Arsenal, today is not for you.’ Across different towns and trading centres in the country, it was Arsenal kits, both new releases and retro, that were visible. According to reports, the club’s fans bought almost all the club jerseys available as part of celebrations following the team’s EPL triumph, painting towns and trading centres red. The day was a culmination of the week’s league…
