Vintage By Hemingway

Looking for something to do in the big smoke tonight? We recommend a trip to Chalk Farm's glorious Roundhouse and prepare to be beguiled. Caro Emerald vocally hot foots it through a hip swaying set of original ballroom jazz numbers, flirtatious tangos and smokey eyed ballads. Heavily inspired by music and cinema of the 1940s and 50s, enjoy a nostalgic skip back in time. Tickets cost £28.50.

If you wanna get your dance on this weekend, Brightonians should head down to Born Bad at Komedia for a wild night of delinquent rhythms.

Norwich folk should bop on down to the Jurnet's Club for it's monthly 60s music night in a medieval cellar bar underneath the Wensum Lodge. You can even buy a pint for £2.20. From 8pm FREE entry.

Britain's biggest vintage fair pops up to Scotland this weekend and because it's Mother's day you can bring your Mum for free!

Then in the Glasgow University Union on Sunday and we can't wait to check out the Victorian Circus themed jewellery by We are the Robots and Once upon a Time which caters for 70s to 90s punk and grunge garb, think Sabrina the Teenage Witch on an acid trip. Woah.
