Following on from our theme earlier today about venues to know about that you may not so much, Hackney venue the Brink at Off Broadway, not far from where the now shuttered Kansas Smitty's used to operate from along Broadway Market, London E8, has accomplished bossa nova-inspired singer Irene Serra on Saturday night coming up. Irene, last heard by marlbank playing at Ronnie Scott's in a duo last year with Luca Boscagin, has another fine guitarist in Jo Caleb, Amy Baldwin on double bass and the great Winston Clifford on drums in her band. Also for the Brink excellent saxophonist Helena Kay whose potential as a major UK jazz star grows all the time, and a fixture on the happening Monday night Kentish Town scene at the Oxford, appears on 21 October, while popular harmonica ace Errol Linton plays the blues at the Brink on 6 November among a well-curated line-up. Full details of all gigs. Irene Serra, top. Press shot
