• “The ‘Futurespective’ EPs have made me realise I can release whatever music I want to”, says Harleighblu. And so she is releasing an album collecting together her three ‘Futurespective’ EPs on 3 Jun. Here’s ‘Mmm’ feat Dr Zygote’.
• The City Of London Festival of mainly classical music is ending after 53 years. “Over the years the fundraising landscape has become ever more competitive and despite achieving support from a range of valued sponsors and supporters it has become increasingly difficult to attract the level of funding required to stage the annual festival”, said a spokesperson.
• Seasick Steve will headline Wembley Arena on 14 Oct, marking the fact it’s a decade since his first appearance on ‘Later… With Jools Holland’. “When I realised it was going to be ten years since I was on Jools’ show, and ten years since you guys gave me this job, I decided that we gonna have a party”, says Steve.
• Katatonia have announced that they will play a show at the Shepherds Bush Empire on 21 Oct to mark their 25th anniversary together. Tickets on sale this Friday.
