London Live: 20-26 July
Gig Of The Week – Marnie Stern @ The Luminaire
A relatively quiet start to the week soon gives way to a first class end with my undoubted highlight being the appearance of Marnie Stern at Kilburn’s Luminaire on Thursday. The New Yorker has been around town a few times since the release of last year’s excellent This Is It… (which made #5 in my Best of ‘08 list) but I’ve missed her each time. No doubt the intimate venue will be shredded by her awesome guitar work. A few tickets are still available from We Got Tickets.
The week ends with two varied festivals in Clapham and Shoreditch. The two line ups are wildly different, with Ben & Jerry’s sponsored affair on Clapham Common seeing some well established acts like The Human League, Teenage Fanclub and Super Furry Animals lead a solid but slightly anodyne line up. A more of-the-moment line up can be found at Sunday’s 1-2-3-4 Festival taking place in Shoreditch Park, headed up by The Rakes, Patrick Wolf, Chrome Hoof and S.C.U.M. Also in the festival vein the iTunes festival and Somerset House summer series continue, although with slightly less big hitters than the previous week.
