This Saturday (November 7) at the Sheepwalk pub in Leytonstone, promoters What's Cookin' present another juicy night of country goodness.

Headliners are the Plastic Pals, a fun powerpop garage group hailing all the way from Stockholm in Sweden.

Support comes from psychedelic rockers Instant Flight and Swedish sing-songwriter Ben Folke Thomas. Folk is his middle name. Kinda.

Doors open around 8.30pm and there's no entry charge – but donations for the bands are welcome.

Meanwhile on Wednesday (November 11) What's Cookin and the Sheepwalk have another evening of fun grooviness.

Headliner is Bap Kennedy, formally of Belfast rock band Energy Orchard.

The country-rocking Mr Bap, who has worked with the likes of Van Morrison and Steve Earle, AND seen one of his albums hit number eight in the US Billboard charts, is clearly a force to be reckoned with. And to watch and enjoy.

Support comes from acoustic blues guitarist Sean Taylor. Doors open around 8.30pm.
