WIN THEA GILMORE TICKETS
‘KT Tunstall’s
imaginary older, smarter,
slightly twisted sister,’ is how we described Thea Gilmore back in 2007. Now, her soulful
country-pop is worlds apart from Ms Tunstall’s more indie-centric offerings. Gilmore’s latest album, Murphy’s Heart, is out now, but if you’d rather catch her live, we’re giving away two pairs of tickets to her gig at The Bongo Club on Wed 13 Oct. Competition closes at midnight on Sun 10 Oct. WIN ANORAAK ALBUMS
Parisian sun- bleached synth-popper Anoraak is set to unleash his debut album Wherever the Sun Sets on the world, preceded by lead single ‘Try Me’. Think Calvin Harris crossed with Junior Senior, set in a pink neon-tinged 1980s Miami Beach. If that sounds like your particular bag, you’re in luck: we have three copies to be won. WIN ASH GOODIES
Tim Wheeler and co’s second batch of A-Z singles has just been released as a compilation, appropriately
titled A-Z Vol. 2. They also have a select few dates around the UK, including the Liquid Room on Thu 11 Nov. Five lucky readers can win a copy of the album, plus one exceptionally lucky winner will also win a pair of tickets to the Liquid Room gig, and some signed vinyl singles from A-Z Vol 1. WIN GODSKITCHEN ALBUMS
Heavyweight club brand Godskitchen are back with a three-disc collection of Pure Trance Anthems. Among the big hitters on the 2011 edition are Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. To win yourself one of three copies, check the details below. HOW TO ENTER
