"Clerkenwell owes its name to Clerks' Well, which was only rediscovered in 1924 in the basement of a building on Farringdon Lane."
Granary Square has made King's Cross unrecognisable!

A rich vein of restaurants and cafes...I love walking down Charlotte Street without a reservation and dropping in to any place that takes my fancy...

Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs
Live at the Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon, London. Sunday 13th April. Matinee gig. 4pm - 7pm. Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs return to the Betsey Trotwood for the first London gig since the release of their critically acclaimed fourth album 'The Whole Band Just Turned Mellow' ( ★★★★★ RnR, ★★★★ Shindig! ) in a lazy Sunday matinee kinda vibe. Joined by Gare du Nord label mates, The Last of the Lovely Days, and featuring a Papernut Cambridgesque set from GnD maestro, Ian Button. Keiron Phelan & Peace Signs present an elegant fusion of 70s tinged baroque art-pop. From Bacharach to Bolan and back again, with a touch of Abbey Road fabs, a sigh of Scott Walker, and superbly inventive musicianship. Imagine a more upfront Neil Hannon fronting Cockney Rebel Mk.1 and you're on the right peace march. The Last of the Lovely Days make their London debut showcasing songs from forthcoming album That's No Public House Talk. This four piece Brighton band creates a unique slant on catchy indie-pop music. Fronted by singer/songwriter, Annie, the band perform a mix of the eclectic and melodic, inspired by all of their favourite things - jangly indie pop, 60s girl groups, 80s new wave (and whatever else they fancy) Papernut Cambridge has been Ian Button's songwriting vehicle since 2013, blending retro pop, brit-psych and indie, and backed by a loose collective of bandmates and collaborators - Shindig! called the band ..a C86 version of The Faces. This year Gare du Nord releases a retrospective PC compilation - but Button's solo set may also include snippets from his recent alias Toni Tubna, and his latest collab project with Allan Crockford, The Penrose Web.Read more
Sunny Side
Join Northern Rascals for a socially urgent work that follows the pain and loneliness on the path from adolescence to adulthood... K is struggling. At 18, he’s living in a world where everyone is rushing full steam ahead but himself. He’s trapped in a small English Everytown; a self-proclaimed ‘rain-soaked paradise’ in the bottom of a Yorkshire valley. A town of two sides: old versus new, indigenous versus gentrified. And yet there's still nowhere that seems to fit K. In a last attempt to understand and reconnect, he revisits the pivotal moments of his life but is left paralysed at the prospect of a future where his voice can’t be heard. Where do young men stand in a world that seems to have no place for them? Combining contemporary dance, theatre and spoken word, SUNNY SIDE is a raw portrayal of modern masculinity, informed by the voices of over 750 young people across the UK. Following the performance on Tuesday 8 April, Geoff Colman will host a post-show conversation with the company.Read more
