The Proms are a marvellous institution. Remarkably diverse musically, accessible, world class and - crucially - cheap as chips, they are the soundtrack to summer in London and we are privileged to have them on our doorstep. It was with an eager step that we hied ourselves to the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday afternoon for the sold-out 48th Prom, despite the glowering sky and hint of rain in the air.

As you can imagine, we get a fair few e-mails to the Londonist Music mailbox asking us if we'll plug something so it takes something pretty special to make us sit up and pay attention. "Just wondering if you might be able to mention the London dates for the world's favourite Argentinian ex-clown turned experimental singer, Juana Molina?" is a pretty good opening, for instance. And so it is, we hereby draw to your......
