London Live: January 26 – February 1

Lily Allen

Gig Of The Week 1 – Lily Allen @ Koko

I never was the biggest fan of Lily Allen, Smile just never did it for me. However The Fear is without doubt the first great single of 2009, and this is Allen’s first homeown gig in two years. If The Fear is representative of her forthcoming second album then the Koko crowd, and lovers of witty pop everywhere, should be excited. There’s also a quick appearance at G.A.Y. at Heaven on Friday for fans to look forward to.

Lily Allen – The Fear

Gig Of The Week 2 – Shhh @ Bush Hall

At the opposite end if the musical spectrum is a day long festival this coming Sunday at Bush Hall. Shhh is a celebration of ‘quiet music’, put on by great promoters, The Local. The day is headed up by former Björk engineer and collaborator, Valgeir Sigurðsson. With several further acts and a cracking location (Bush Hall is one of London’s most under-used live venues IMO) all for a fiver* – you’d have to have a good reason to miss out!

* Early bird tickets are a fiver, door price is £8. Get yer’ £5 tix on this link

Valgeir Sigurðsson – Winter Sleep
