Monday 25 November
Iyes, Servant Jazz Quarters, Dalston

These guys have been off touring Germany recently but are now back on home ground to play a free gig at the Old Blue Last. Event Details
Tuesday 26 November
The Moth & The Flame, Sebright Arms, Bethnal Green
https://soundcloud.com/themoththeflame/how-we-woke-up-2
From their debut album, which they have kindly put up on soundcloud.com. If you like this, buy their new album which is called '&'. The band are a three piece currently working out of LA but are originally from Utah. Event Details
Manu Dibango, The Barbican
https://soundcloud.com/restlessoul/manu-dibango-lakisane
At 79 , Manu Dibango still has plenty to give. He is a sax legend both in his home country of Cameroon and across the globe. Event Details
Wednesday 27 November
Keebo, Strongroom Bar and Kitchen, Shoreditch
https://soundcloud.com/beautiful-strange/keebo-follow
I think this is an all-female band, but I don't know whether 'Rhapsody' is a girl's or a boy's name. Anyway, lets play it safe and just say they are a five piece from London. Event Details
Thursday 28 November
Beachwalk Canvas, The Troubadour, Earls Court
https://soundcloud.com/beachwalkcanvas/winter-coat
This week's 'Shameless Favourite'! It says on their website that they have just recorded 10 new tracks so an album launch would appear to be imminent. Beachwalk Canvas are from West London and only formed last year. This track is beautifully subtle. Event Details
The JB Conspiracy, Barfly, Camden Town
This track is from their new album 'Storm', which was released this month. This gig marks the band coming to the end of a national tour. Event Details
Friday 29 November
Scarlett's Roses, Charlie Wrights, Hoxton
https://soundcloud.com/scarletts-roses/truth-be-told
This is their latest single, which is available on iTunes. Ska-ish indie beats. Event Details
Ruarri Joseph, The Miller, Borough Market
This Cornish singer has a beautifully relaxed tone and plays to my stereotype that everyone from Newquay is a chilled out surfer. It's a great video too. Event Details
