Track of the week: Dinachi - 'Jericho'

As the year draws to a close we bring you one last track of the week feature for 2017, this time from Dinachi. Based in London, her music is "an intriguing blend of jazz, folk, highlife and gospel" and she has recently released her debut album Parables. With highly meaningful lyrics, portraying both political and religious messages, she has honed her craft singing in church choirs and leading gospel choirs during her time at school and University, gaining experience to bring her to this point in her career. She recently performed live on BBC Radio 2, check out the interview and performance here. Our track of the week is Jericho, which you can listen to along with the rest of the beautiful record on Spotify here.

Gig of the week: Catgod and Holly Redford Jones at Surya, London (20th Dec)

With the festive season in full swing we've got our last couple of shows of the year coming up this week and our gig of the week is with three of our favourite artists playing a show for us in London! Catgod and Holly Redford Jones co-headline at Surya in King's Cross - they've both played many gigs for us and are two of our favourite live acts. With the beautiful Calÿpso opening up the night, it's sure to be a wonderful evening and we'd love to see some of you there! Check out our artists below and grab tickets for the gig here.

Track of the week: Josh McGovern - 'Love Left Lost'

We first discovered Brighton based singer-songwriter Josh McGovern a few months back with the tune The Devil Below Me and absolutely adore his new tune Love Left Lost. We can't get enough of his beautifully raw and unique vocals, which remind us a little of the likes of George Ezra and Fil Bo Riva, which can only be a good thing. Check out the brand new video for the track below...

Gig of the week: BE GOOD at The Cellar, Oxford (14th Dec)

One of our final gig of the week tips for the year is for a show we're completely gutted to be missing out on in Oxford. It's the charming and wonderful local chaps BE GOOD this Thursday at one of our favourite venues, The Cellar, which has recently announced some positive news in it's fight to remain open - from their Facebook page,"the landlord has withdraw it's objection to the grant of a new lease for the venue". Drinks all round?! The band play the venue this Thursday with support from Leicester based Magique who we caught supporting Willie J Healey earlier in the year and loved (Real Love is a tune!), with Despicable Zee opening up the night. Grab your tickets here for what we reckon will be a gig of the year for the city, and catch BE GOOD before they shoot into the limelight they deserve in 2018... (you heard it here first, right?)

Track of the week: Catgod - 'Keep My Promises'

Our good pals Catgod are our track of the week this week with their crazy new tune Keep My Promises. It's their first new track since the beautiful Someone Love EP which was released over Summer, earning them acclaim from the likes of Lauren Laverne and helping to secure them slots at some great festivals. We're digging the new tune and can't wait to hear more... Catgod play for us at Surya in King's Cross on 20th December, co-headlining with Tig fave Holly Redford Jones and with Calÿpso opening up the night. Grab your tickets here (and don't forget the Santa hats.)
