A gentle trip to Shoreditch to see the Strange Idols. A pleasant band, whose singer has striking eyes. They have some good tunes and the gig was free, so a visit seemed a good idea. The evening was otherwise uneventful.

Another Barfly B-sides night at the Enterprise. Disappointedly the Youngs is off, although the Guiness is not too expensive. Soko is from France and she attracts quite a few French people to the Barfly, and others like me); She is playing first and the place is pretty full at 8.30. I am a bit confused as to why she didn't headline. I prefer a more traditional approach where the crowd build up during the evening and us photographers can warm up gently (stand around drinking a beer). She sings sweet songs in English which are typically risque

Strange Idols are the headline band of the evening. By they play many of the French crowd have left and there is space to move - and take pictures.
