Music website The Line of Best Fit has announced it is to host an “all day celebration of quiet music” in London in January.

The gig at Cecil Sharp House in Camden will feature Jon Hopkins, Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards (a particular FFS favourite, see our album review here), David Thomas Broughton and more.

The chaps behind the event say: “Shhh… is standing up against the noise mongers of the world and hitting back with an all day celebration of quiet music… you can be guaranteed a perfect listening environment for some of the finest artists around.”

Sounds perfect to us.
