Doors to the venue, in Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow, open at around 8.30pm and entry is £5 with a band flyer, £6 without.

And there's an intriguing gig at the venue later this month which warrants advance notification for residents. Italian band Sexual Disorders are coming all the way from their native Florence to perform at the Standard before it closes down.

What's more entry is free – as long as you apply in advance.

Support comes from local bands 'Subset' and 'Your Words Are Lies'.

Entry is £2, with a £1 discount for members.

It's at the Loughton Club in Station Road and doors open at 8pm.

Also in Essex, the Harlow Square hosts a rocky line-up of bands this Saturday (August 6) including The Ocean Between Us, For Everything A Reason and Burning Bridges.

Waltham Abbey Folk Club has a Singaround jam night on Monday (August 8) from 8.30pm. Entry to the venue, at the Royal British Legion HQ in Brooker Road, is £1.50p.

And finally, news reaches us that's promoters What's Cookin' will no longer be holding gigs at the North Star pub in Leytonstone. The reasons behind the move are not yet publicly known, expect an update on this next week.
