Larrikin Love & Jamie T play Fopp

Young London troubadours Larrikin Love, London lyricist Jamie T, and Liverpudlian newcomers The Maybes? are all set to play intimate, free gigs at Fopp stores across the UK.

The hotly tipped Larrikin Love - who take their unusual name from frontman Edward's surname - have already caused quite a stir with their debut EP Six Queens. Their musical fusion of ska, punk and reggae, with catchy riffs and lyrics that reference quintessentially London places and experiences, has earned them comparisons with the Libertines.

They will tour no less than 3 Fopp's across the UK:

Wednesday 27th September - 1pm - Fopp Bristol Park Street
Thursday 28th September - 1pm - Fopp Brighton
Friday 29th Sepember - 1pm - Fopp Tottenham Court Road

London's Jamie Treays - aka Jamie T - will showcase his great lyrical talent and support the release of the new single Sheila, which is sure to make him a star. Signed to Virgin, Jamie brings his blend of rap/reggae/punk to Fopp:

Theirs is a unified sound that draws on their experiences together, their Liverpudlian heritage and their uniquely sunny outlook on life The NME says: "The Maybes? Are the first Northern band since Oasis to successfully fuse working class arrogance with beer soaked tunes." Catch them on:
