Tonight (Saturday), it's the cello-laden post-rock beauty of A Genuine Freakshow at Sunflower Lounge, tomorrow (Sunday) there's another multi-band extranvaganza at Rainbow incluing Blakfish, The Arm and the apocalyptic Mills And Boon, on Monday the finest singer-songwriter of all Mickey Greaney is singing and playing a bit like Leonard at The Cross, Gurdan Thomas will bring a hundred instruments and his fine songs to Kitchen Garden cafe on Tuesday, Wednesday is a rip in the universe: Microphones eschewed, a new humankind is birthed: Mothertrucker, Io and Una Corda at Island, and Thursday at Sunflower Lounge Betty And The Id demonstrate why being "old, fat and bald" is better and Liechtenstein bring beautiful indiepop from Sweden.

A great week.
