Drifting and Tilting at the Barbican
So there it was, the long awaited, latest offering from the illusive Scott Walker.

Anything Goes with Antony Elvin
It’s for reasons like this that I love London. Sunday night, upstairs at The Star pub in Tufnell Park, Anything Goes Sunday Club takes place. Hosted by the lovely Hatty Ashdown, sporting clown’s feet and a rather grand stuffed crow, the evening does exactly what it says on the tin.
Last Shadow Puppets at Hammersmith Apollo

Pivot Points: Turkey and London

Stereo MCs at Brixton’s JAMM
With an unpopular, unelected Prime Minister, recession all around and hammer pants inexplicably back in fashion - everything does seem to have gone a bit ’90s. And with this in mind, The Boy and I set off to Brixton to see none other than the Stereo MCs on Saturday night.
