Daniel Ruiz Tizon, a man on his fifth nose, is, he’d like the world to know, Available, and dissecting the minutiae of everyday life.

CHRISTMAS EVE 2021 Special

Some festive housekeeping, a collapsible bed that actually collapses with our little-heard host in it, a brief Star Wars Christmas Cup final preview and more. Plus the hour-long 2018 The Café Chronicles Bumper Christmas Annual that aired on Resonance FM on Christmas Eve 2018, coming to you from the South Lambeth Portuguese café DRT has holed himself up in since the summer of 2001.

As the gentrification sweeping through Nine Elms and Vauxhall accelerates, The Café Chronicles documents the characters and community threatened by these changes. This packed festive edition features chin fissures, cartoon flattened pastries, leviathan eclairs, hairy chested waiters in open necked shirts shedding chest hair in customers coffees, and Old Twitter, the octogenarian couple with their newspapers breaking yesterday’s news today. And Daniel looks back at an old Christmas exchange with a café regular that kick-started the erosion of his long-prized anonymity in the café.
