It is just an average bar, very typical in Spain, a small place where you can have good food for a reasonable price. Nothing to call home about really, but a good place where people from the neighborhood would go frequently and having a good meal. A typical small bar in Spain, but with owners with an exquisite taste for music.

I totally recommend to pay a visit if you happen to be in Valencia, but hold your expectations because you're going to be disappointed if you expect something cool, big or refined. It's a small place with neighbourhood charm.
You might get lucky, now and then

I would want to show this ad to young kid MK admiring Bob Dylan, wonder what he'd say.

Sly Dunbar has to be either the coolest name ever, or a really cheesy Disney villain name. Can’t decide which.

Looks like fake for me. MK wearing a NHB t-shirt in 2005...

Dunno, I got it from this tweet

https://twitter.com/MKGuitars/status/1658443004183445509

Yes I saw it too in twitter and I thought how weird is MK not only wearing a t-shirt of anything related to him but also something so outdated like a NHB t-shirt in 2005, and looked fake for me because of that.

I'm no photoshop expert but if it's fake then it's a good one, the print on the fabric covers his body.

You can Photoshop that in about a minute, actually. Photoshop pros can do mind-blowing things equally mind-glowingly fast, this is the easiest of their tricks. Looks fake to me, especially since I remember MK playing in T-shirts in 2005, but not with prints like this.

The thing that makes it more suspicious is a NHB t-shirt in 2005. Last NHB gig was in 1999, 2002 if you consider the MK and friends gigs. Actually the guitars of the t-shirt remind me one t-shirt that was sold during those gigs.

However, doesn't makes sense.

Could be rehearsals or a soundcheck.  I would say definitely not a show since both he and Guy had their fancy show shirts back then!

He used to go to encores in a T-shirt? Not a hill I’m bothered about dying on but seems like a weird thing to fake.
