Diddly Dee (or Are Friends Eclectic?)

Let me explain the first half of this week's bad pun kids. We have Lisa Dee from Dublin playing on Friday. Ireland's best rapper who has played with Grandmaster Flash before. See what I done. Eh? Oh forget it then...

This week is actually a monumental week for music at T'Ship. Anglo Svensk brings the best of Swedish pop to Kilburn on Tuesday, OK Karaoke bring an outstanding indie line up on Wednesday, electronica night is on Thursday, Friday is funky, Saturday is a chance to see the talent on show from Kilburn's Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and Sunday is experimental/ambient. I dunno how you all keep up.

If you don't like live bands fair enough, come and dance your drawers off Friday and Saturday til 4am, woo hoo.

Quick advance notice before the listings. We will have Britain's best magician doing a special show on the 4th June. Check him out at www.michaelvincent.co.uk plus we are getting a trickle which will no doubt soon become a flood for Smyths tickets on Saturday 5th May.
