Tonight we celebrate as I end my long and painful five week gig-drought, hurrah! 2011 festival faves of mine Dry the River are sure to set my year off with a bang at London’s greatest venue XOYO.

But first - Brick Lane to see Pulled Apart by Horses tear apart Rough Trade. Very exciting indeed and it feels great to be getting out of Stortford again. Oh London, how I’ve missed you!
