Isaac Hayes
He's a soul man: Isaac Hayes is at the Shepherd's Bush Empire

David Smyth
3 Aug 2007


This weekend, Prince continues his residency at the O2 Arena, the dextrous VJ duo Addictive TV perform the National Theatre and Isaac Hayes plays the Shepherds Bush Empire.

Isaac Hayes
Shepherds Bush Empire, W12

After quitting his job as a character in South Park, the veteran soul man gets back to his first love, bringing his epic compositions and covers to life again on tour before recording his first album of new material in more than a decade.
(0844 477 2000). Friday 3 August, 7pm.

Dr John
Indigo, SE10

The good doctor gets ready to tinkle the ivories and growl at his fans in the Dome's new club venue. He's been a major figure in the campaign to restore New Orleans, so expect a few mentions of his hurricane-ravaged hometown.
(0844 844 0002) Friday 3 August, 7pm.

Addictive TV
National Theatre, SE1

Currently reigning as the number one VJs (video performance artist) in the world, as voted by DJ magazine for the second time, this dextrous duo bring their fascinating visual splicings to the roof of the National Theatre, where their cut-and-paste images will be projected onto the huge fly tower.
Free, Saturday 4 August, 10.30pm.

1-2-3-4 Shoreditch
Shoreditch Park, E2

An all-day music event as part of the Shoreditch Festival, featuring hip performers to suit the overly fashionable locale, including Ali Love,
Twisted Charm and Shy Child, as well as a headlining slot from Har Mar Superstar with Strokes drummer Fab Moretti.
Free, Sunday 5 August 12 noon-9pm.

Prince
O2 Arena, SE10

Finishing the first week of his obscenely generous 21 nights in London, the purple one shows no signs of flagging, especially since he's also popping up for late-night club gigs in the Indigo2 next door.
(0870 534 4444). Friday-Saturday 3-4 August, then until 21 September.
