Mike Outram and Martin Speake at Karamel. (Out of camera shot: Corrie Dick)

The autumn programme of Thursday gigs at Karamel in Coburg Road in Wood Green running right through till Christmas is announced. 

It has some great gigs by London artists, including the super Desmond/Mulligan project from Allison Neale and Chris Biscoe (REVIEWED).  We have had several reports in that the musicians are being very well treated, we have also been hearing how tasty the vegetarian/ vegan food is. There is a real desire on the part of every one involved to make this happy, buzzy and quite new regular gig – open for food from 6 30pm – a cornerstone of the regular North London scene.
