Hinge Cafe

This year we lost a Hinge icon.

Tommy Cawley ambled into the cafe doors approximately 20 years ago and asked “Do you mind if I play the piano here?” I was a little confused and explained that we didn’t have a piano. He smiled and said, “That’s ok. I’ll bring mine.” And he did.

For almost 2 decades Tommy played a variety of show tunes from memory for the cafe customers, often inspiring sing-a-longs and young accompaniment.

Tommy will be missed dearly. Feel free to share a memory in the comments or post a picture to this page.
