José González to play exclusive one off gig in Canary Wharf, London

Acoustic After Hours With…Jose Gonzalez

Sweden's captivating and mysterious José González will be playing an exclusive one off London concert at Canary Wharf’s stunning East Wintergarden.

Armed with little more than an acoustic guitar, an ultra sensitive soul and a host of low-key tunes, González’s internationally acclaimed 2005 debut, Veneer, sold over 700,000 copies worldwide and went platinum in the UK and Ireland.



González and his lo-fi acoustic guitar music famously covered Heartbeats by The Knife and Massive Attack’s Teardrop and his pared down, soulful and melodic style also delights in his second album, In Our Nature, released, again to international acclaim, in 2007.

East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf
29 April 2009, 7.45pm (Doors open at 7pm)

Tickets £17 on sale now - Book early to avoid disappointment.

Hot Chip to perform a "secret" gig

Hot Chip will join the Filthy Dukes, Dodgy and The Bluetones to perform at a series of "secret" gigs in London to raise money for charity.

The band, who have had hits with Over And Over and Ready For The Floor, will kick off the series of concerts for Crisis, the homeless charity, on Tuesday May 5.
Dodgy and The Bluetones will be taking to a secret stage on Sunday May 17 and the Filthy Dukes, Bombay Bicycle Club and The Pipettes will also be performing later in the series of concerts.



The series of nine hidden gigs throughout May and June offer fans the chance to see bands in intimate, unusual spaces and the venue will remain hidden until the day of the gig, when a text or email message will be sent to the ticket holders, revealing its location.
By withholding details until the last minute, Crisis aim to raise awareness of the situation facing hidden homeless people, who often don't know where they will end up each night.
Al Doyle from Hot Chip said: "Whether they would like to admit it or not, most people have an image in their head of a 'homeless person', the old-fashioned and unhelpful figure of the down-and-out, who in fact is entirely unrepresentative of the majority of homeless people in the UK. These are the hidden homeless, who for a variety of often very complex reasons have no regular accommodation. We hope our gig for Crisis will raise awareness of their plight and are very happy to help the cause."
