The Hackney boy releases his new single, Fire Burning, on Nov 30th – so why not have a gander at the video right here before you check out his top 5 (mostly north London) venues below?

This place has a great feel. I last performed here in 2010 for an SBTV night. It’s best when it’s rammed and you look out to the crowd on all the different levels. I love all the original interiors, too. 1a Camden High St, NW1
Jazz Café
When I was growing up, my dad went there all the time, so it holds a lot of sentimental value and playing there the first time was special. So many legends have played there you feel you like you’re in good company. 5 Parkway, NW1
Hackney Empire
One of the best performances of my career as I had an amazing choir with me. I want to play there again. 291 Mare St, E8
Egg
Simply ‘cos they put on some great house nights. And I’ve had some mad nights there. 200 York way, N7
