TRAGIC news that Shiv Lizzy, one of the 45 shortlisted acts in the Camden Crawl Emerging Talent Awards (ETA) has been killed in a road accident. I’ve heard Crawl organisers want to keep her music in the competition anyway and let it be judged on its merit. From what I’m hearing, she was a strong contender.
• Thanks to the anonymous reader who set me straight on the qualities of Crawl headliners LostProphets and We Are Scientists. Without your stern words I may have had to think for myself.
• Great news for Irish band The Jude, who played The Dublin Castle’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations last week. They’ve been chosen to play industry-acclaimed City Showcase 2010 and have made it to the Camden Crawl’s ETAs shortlist – vote for them at www.emergingtalentawards.com/vote/band/the-jude
• Acclaimed author of The Looked After Kid, Paolo Hewitt, is DJing at a special charity night at the Lexington (March 30). Leddra Chapman, who’s still at uni, songwriter Georgia Strand and Liverpool band The Branco Heist are all on the bill. It’s in aid of the Willow Foundation, which organises special days for seriously ill people.

BRITS - N-DUBZ v ALEXANDRA BURKE AND MORE
LESS than a week to go until the Brits and we’ve got Islington’s Alexandra Burke (Bad Boys) and Tinchy Stryder with Camden’s N-Dubz (Number One) battling it out for Best British single.
They’re up against Alesha Dixon, the nation’s darling Cheryl Cole, poor eclipsed Joe McElderry, JLS, La Roux, Lily Allen, Pixie Lott and Taio Cruz. On the merits of pure pop singles I’m thinking it’s between our two and old Cheryl for Fight For This Love.
What's more concerning is the Brits' shortlist for top album of the last 30 years - some dubious choices in there ie - Dido.
Can Did really be credited as having made one of the top 10 albums in the last three decades? So much is missing - The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Elton John, need I go on? Suggestions on a postcard here.....

• I went to the www.easyeartraining.com launch at Islington’s Union Chapel on Monday. If you’re learning to play an instrument, sing, or produce bands, this one’s for you.
• The Chemical Brothers play their first gigs in nearly 18 months at the Roundhouse on May 20-21. Tickets from www.gigsandtours.com
• OK, it’s not strictly north London, but Bon Jovi’s residency at the O2 Arena has to be mentioned, especially as Kid Rock’s joining them on June 25-26.
• Ant and Dec, along with Spaced actor Simon Pegg, were in the crowd at Leddra Chapman’s gig at the Jazz Café on Saturday.
