Gigs of The Week, 8 March

Welcome to our weekly round-up of shows happening in the grand concert halls, dimly lit basements, airy cafe’s and grimy sweatboxes across the UK and Ireland. All acts featured come with the Best Fit ‘Seal Of Approval’ so you can be assured that your hard earned cash will be well spent. To tempt your wallets this week we’ve gathered dates from the likes of Ambassadeurs, Coves and Cyril Hahn.

Cyril Hahn @ Sidings Warehouse, London 08/03

The Vancouver via Switzerland producer has been catching everyone’s attention of late with his expert re-workings of classic pop numbers, the below take on Solange’s ‘Losing You’ is a personal favourite but more importantly we can’t wait to hear what new material he’s been working on.

SOLD OUT. RSVP via Facebook. Check out more Cyril Hahn shows.

Night Works @ Rough Trade East, London 11/03

Ex-Metronomy man Gabriel Stebbing brings the slick, electronic, R&B tinged pop sounds of his new LP Urban Heat Island for RTE for free.

Susanne Sundfør @ Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, London 11/03

The Norwegian songstress’ debut album The Silicone Veil is absolutely stunning, if you like pop of the scandinavian variety you would be a fool to miss this.

Ólafur Arnalds @ The Barbican, London 11/03

The incredible talented Icelandic man brings his breath taking, classically leaning soundscapes to the grand halls of the Barbican.

John Grant @ Heaven, London 13/03

Bird on The Wire Presents: Coves @ Birthdays, London 13/03

Our writer Dan Carson put it best when he said: “Coves succeed where so many have failed, capturing the deeply melancholy essence of Echo and the Bunnymen in a vibrant bubblegum film of woozy choruses and moreish guitar melodies.”
