More acts have been announced for the Electric Proms in October: the BBC's Camden-based set of gigs have added uber-Godfather James Brown to their week of eclectic sounds. He'll play the Roundhouse on October 27, joined by special guests who are so special nobody knows who they are yet.

In other news, Jamie T and "calypso king" Young Tiger have joined Damon Albarn's new project The Good The Bad and The Queen in playing on October 26 which we're quite excited about. Young Tiger will be playing his first gig in decades (just how young is he?) and Jamie T is brilliant so along with Albarn's self-proclaimed follow-up to 'Parklife' this should be a rather snazzy gig.
