Tonight he plays Cambridge Junction, tomorrow Sheffield Leadmill, Wed Bristol Bierkeller, Thur Cardiff Coal Exchange, Fri Liverpool L2, Sat Edinburgh Assembly Rooms, Sun Glasgow Arches.

Succumb ... to "The Lure of the North". Iceland's been cool (you know what I mean) for a couple of years now and this joint photographic exhibition provides the perfect opportunity to see why.

To 27 Feb, Picture In The House Art Gallery, 61 Venn Street, Clapham Common, London SW4, 0171-720 0955.
