Last.FM Announce Music Festival

Review: Saint Etienne @ The Forum

There is something particularly English - in fact, quintessentially London - about Saint Etienne. Performing what was, pretty much, a greatest hits packed set for their Christmas gig at the Kentish Town Forum on Saturday night, the band certainly looked and sounded like they were home.

Ticket Alert: Paul McCartney @ 100 Club

If booking big names was enough to save Oxford Street's 100 Club from closure, it would probably be getting a reprieve about now. Paul McCartney (yes, that Paul McCartney) has announced a gig next Friday at the 300 capacity venue.

Review: Rebecca Closure @ Custom House Records Launch

Review: London Jazz Festival - TrioVD & AfroCubism

Chris Sharkey, Christophe de Bezenac and Chris Bussey, collectively fiery contemporary British jazz outfit TrioVD, positioned themselves cosily at the right side of the ICA’s theatre stage, perhaps lulling you into a false sense of security.

Last Minute Listing: Save The 100 Club Gig

Help save The 100 Club tonight with a night of great live music.

The Luminaire To Close

Music Preview: Terry Edwards @ The Victoria

A sad and slightly sinister sepia toned rendering of everyone's favourite Cockney knees up tune.
