by Kev Kharas [Edit this content] ▾ 10 comments 17:29 March 5th, 2008

Martha Wainwright will play a free show in London this Friday, the Canadian songstress today being confirmed as the headliner of TheLipster.com’s ‘Girl Friday’ (details).

Taking place in the front room at the South Bank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, Girl Friday has been arranged to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Girl Friday also features appearances from Piney Gir, Catherine Anne Davies, Dockers MC and George Pringle (DJ Set), as well as Monade, the side project of Stereolab’s Lætitia Sadier.

Performances begin at 5.30pm, arrive early to avoid disappointment as entry is limited. The singer’s second album, I Know You’re Married But I Have Feelings Too, will be released in May through ~~JAG~~ DrownedinSound.

Dang - I'm at a different gig that day

Oh well, I think I'm going to the Royal Festival Hall show anyway. So it's all alright.
