Afternoon Tea and Beach Boys - Pet Sounds - The Glasshouse International Centre for Music

A brew. A bop. A brilliant album.

Crumbly scones meet cult records, with nostalgia layered in as generously as the jam. It’s a no-skips listening party hosted by a certified liner-note lover.

Settle in for a start-to-finish spin of one iconic album. We’ll brew big pots of proper tea and stack tiered stands with finger sandwiches, still-warm scones and homemade cakes.

No shuffle. No chatter over the best bits. No “wait, what song is this again?”

Just great music, sweet bites and the kind of conversation that only happens when people really love what they’re hearing.

The album, Sun-drenched. Harmonic. Pickin’ up good vibrations.

Golden hour bottled. A kaleidoscope of layered harmonies. Surf‑soaked nostalgia and Brian Wilson at his heart‑wide‑open peak.

Drift from track to track: the soft ache of ‘God Only Knows’ to the warm bounce of ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’. It’s youthful longing, California sunshine and pure pop genius. Close your eyes and let the harmonies do what they do best, lift you up, mellow you out and carry you somewhere warm.
