If you've been keepin' tabs on South London rap prodigy Loyle Carner then you ought to listen to this - his new track 'Stars & Shards' (listen below).  

An emerging force for British rap music, Loyle first ignited the circuit with 'Ain't Nothing Changed'. Similarly his new track gives a nod to jazz with smoky late night guitars settling into a groove, and there's a deep cutting story to tell.

Glasgow - King Tut's, Thursday 29th September
