We love Brixton.  Not only does it have one of our favourite venues in the world (the Windmill, who know how to throw a serious BBQ) but they also have a great blog called Brixton Sessions that has recently posted performances by Octoberman, Eamon McGrath, and The Mohawk Lodge when they were swinging through town on separate occasions last Spring.
