Andrew WK
Astoria 2, WC2, Saturday
Party hard! The commercially disastrous but strangely cool WK returns to rock hysterically. Friends run from Dave Grohl to Baby Dee.
Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick
Putney Half Moon, SW15, Sunday
The pairing of great folk guitarist and mighty folk fiddler return to reprise
their classic 1960s collaboration.
Glasvegas
Scala, N1, Tuesday
The Guide favourites celebrate the release of their eponymous debut album. Emotional rock in a reverberating, occasionally Spectoresque vein.
Ladyhawke
Pure Groove, EC1, Tuesday
Not to be confused with Ladyhawk (Crazy Horse-style rockers playing The Windmill, SW2, later on), the NZ songwriter serves up pretty nice electro-disco.
Robert Forster
RFH, SE1, Friday
The former Go Between brings foppish charm and material from new album the Evangelist. Has lately been operating as a music journalist, weirdly.
