THE Beatles top the bill at the Artisan Music Venue in Chingford this Friday (April 20).

Actually, scratch that, it's tribute act The Counterfeit Beatles who are playing – they sound so much like the real thing Sound Advice got confused for a minute there.

Supporting the fake fab four is Northern Soul and DJ Tony Parsons.

Entry is £6 or £5 if you have a band flyer.

Doors to the venue, in Hall Lane, open at 8pm.

Alternatively on Friday (April 20), singer-songwriter Kate Denny plays the Redbridge Green Fair Live Music Club at Cricklefield Stadium at Ilford Sports Club.

Support comes from David Shevelew, a semi-finalist at the BBC's Young Folk Awards in 2011, and Al Neville.

Admission is £4, or £2 if you're under 18.

The venue is in Ilford High Road and it starts at 8pm.

Loughton Folk Club hosts some mixed sessions with Fiona McBain on Thursday (April 19).

Entry is £2 and it starts at 8pm.

It's at the Loughton Club in Station Road.

Scolds Bridle plays a feature evening at Waltham Abbey Folk Club next Monday (April 23).

It costs £5 and doors to the club, in Brooker Road, swing open at 8.30pm.

Meanwhile on Sunday (April 22) Pete Atkin plays Walthamstow Folk Club at Ye Olde Rose and Crown in Hoe Street.

Entry to the gig is £8, with a £1 discount for concessions, and it starts at 7.30pm.

Rosie Eade headlines the Lost Horizons monthly acoustic night at the Birkbeck Tavern in Leytonstone on Friday (April 20).

Support acts include duo Rye, along with singer-songwriters James O'Hara-Knight, Louis and George Gilman, Will O'Donoghue and Bob Munton. There's also an open mic from 11pm.

Admission is just £3 and doors open at 7pm for an 8pm start.

Rock and roll boy-girl duo Cowbell play the pub, in Langthorne Road, on Saturday (April 21) as the guest of promoters What's Cookin'.

Also playing is Paul Handyside, a singer-songwriter who was a founder member of eighties group Hurrah!

The night gets going at 8.30pm and is free, although donations for the acts welcome as always.

The banjo-and-fiddle-playing Black Twig Pickers play the Birkbeck on Wednesday (April 25).

Support comes from folk-blues man Mark Wynn.

The music begins at 8.30pm and admission is also free.
