FOOTBALL DJS, LOS MONDO BONGO AND SUEDE

Here’s an odd one – former Chelsea, Everton and Scotland international footballer Pat Nevin is guest DJ at King’s Cross Social Club tomorrow (March 19). His music credentials are plenty: a former mate of John Peel, he plays in the same 5-a-side team as Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch and singer Gordon McIntyre. Expect indie pop, post-punk, and much more. And it’s free.

• Here’s one for the musos out there. Can you name the players in Los Mondo Bongo, who play the Purple Turtle on Sunday (March 21)? Bonus point for their pedigree. Answer: Mike Peters from The Alarm on lead, Pablo Cook and Smiley of the legendary Joe Strummer’s “Mescaleros”, Derek Forbes of Simple Minds, and Steve Harris. DJ set from Ray Gange, star of the Clash film Rude Boy. It’s a celebration of Strummer so don’t be too late.

• Remember Suede? They’re back – well Brett Anderson and band, don’t expect to see Bernard Butler – and are playing an exclusive show at the 100 Club on March 20 to warm up for their Teenage Cancer Trust gig at the Royal Albert Hall four days later.

• Wild Palms have covered Bjork’s Human Behaviour on the B-side to single Deep Dive out on April 19. Wonder if they’ll test it out during their Camden Crawl show. They also play Relentless Garage on March 24.

• White Mischief is celebrating its third birthday at Scala on March 27. Visit www.whitemischief.info
