9. Baroque Trio Sonatas

The Historical Performance Department are let loose on various period instruments. Royal Academy of Music. Baker St. Tue Nov 8.

Drift into the floaty world of this Copenhagen trio where blissed-out melodies reign supreme. The Waiting Room. Stoke Newington Overground. Thu Nov 10.

Rapper whose hyperactive, eccentric delivery and eerie, leftfield beats have finally been getting deserved credit. Electric Brixton. Brixton. Thu Nov 10.

Fresh punk poetry scrawled over relentless electronic beats as the Nottingham duo debut new tracks. Roundhouse. Chalk Farm. Thu Nov 10.

Tuba master Andy Grappy connects with young musicians. Southbank Centre. Waterloo. Sun Nov 13.

Don’t miss Californian ray of sunshine Glaspy, as she beams over to London with her cream-coloured Telecaster, folky guitar licks and fun lyrics that save her from being just quirky and instead just quality. Village Underground. Shoreditch High St Overground. Wed Nov 9.
