Ok, so it is nearly time to pack up your rucksack and head back to school. Feels pretty shitty, doesn’t it? But, fear not! Autumn brings good things as well as bad. Along with the falling leaves, you should be keeping your eyes peeled for an eclectic ensemble of musicians chugging up the old Northern Line to enlighten our lives.
To get you in the mood for this new season, we recommend that you pop on your headphones and plug in to this playlist of peeps that will be gracing our stages over the next couple of months.
