LAST EVER LUCKSMITHS SHOWS IN THE UK

The Lucksmiths play their last ever UK shows next week. This is not a hoax. They really are splitting up. You will never see them play again. Come to these shows.

The first is at the lovely Luminaire on Tuesday 7th with a stellar supporting cast handpicked by the Lucksmiths themselves: Gary Olson, playing a set of Ladybug Transistor songs with some familar faces (could it be those Lucksmiths chaps?) as his backing band; Nottingham's finest progfolkTinderstickstronica pop outfit The Chemistry Experiment; and the brilliant Still Corners featuring Leon J Dufficy of The Zebras and Hush Arbors.

And then, the night after, The Lucksmiths last ever London show at The Scala, with support from genius award-winning comedian Daniel Kitson and Fortuna POP!'s latest signings Allo Darlin'. Ian from How Does It Feel To Be Loved? will be DJing between bands and afterwards we'll be having a little party down the road at The Lexington, with Ian and Marianthi from Spiral Scratch playing some records. You're all invited, of course.
