After eleven years as everyone's favourite rock'n'roll rah rah band, The Loves are withdrawing from active service - and celebrating the receipt of their metaphorical gold watch with a fine show off. For this, their last ever performance, they will be joined on stage by Claire, Jill, Matt, Nat and Rosie, the string section from A Little Orchestra.

Saturday 19 March – London

Save Our Libraries @ Nettlefold Hall, West Norwood Library, 1-5 Norwood High Street, SE27 9JX

Darren Hayman, Horowitz, Leaf Library, The Give it Ups, A Little Orchestra, Pete Green, A Fine Day for Sailing.

DJs: Scared to Dance and Big Pink Cake.

In protest against proposed cuts to over 1000 local libraries across the UK (including Lambeth's finest), A Little Orchestra will be performing a typically eclectic mix in the time honoured tradition of The Portsmouth Sinfonia and the Boston Pops, joined on guest vocals by a variety of illustrious friends.

Ticket details will be announced soon.

For the latter, we will be reprising our all-hands-on-deck rendition of Terry Riley's 'In C', so if you would like to join us for that, please email me via the link above and to the right.

Upcoming

In about one hour, that's 16:30 BST, I will be appearing on Jonny Trunk's Resonance FM show to talk about film soundtracks and things.

Tomorrow afternoon at approximately three o'clock, A Little Orchestra and friends will be performing 'In C' by Terry Riley at the Lexington, Pentonville Road, London. It's free to get in and Bob Stanley will be DJing (and, yes, they will be showing the football later). In fact, don't just come along, download the score, bring an instrument and join in! We'll be having a quick run though at about one o'clock before anyone gets in so if you want to join in, do try and make it to that - in fact, ideally, email me first.

Next Tuesday, I will be DJing at the Lock Tavern, Chalk Farm, from about eight til about midnight. This is my Weird Music Night so you can expect bits of library music, avant-garde stuff, modern composition, horror and science fiction records and so on. This also free - and upstairs.

The following Monday, that's the 19th, The Pipettes release our new single, 'Call Me', on Fortuna Pop! To celebrate, we will be playing at The Lexington with support The School and A Little Orchestra - probably playing something other than 'In C' this time. Do come down and say hello, it would be lovely to see you.
