What are you up to this weekend? Ok, it is the last friday of the month and you cannot wait to splash the cash on your payday but do you really have to?
At Shellys we have selected a few options that can make you leave your wallet at home!
National Portrait Gallery – Late Shift Friday 27th Jan 18.30-21
A Friday evening with art and music, and why not? A glass of wine to get into weekend mood. This Friday trumpeter Desbruslais is joined by a percussionist to perform the premiere of Thor’s Day by composer Tim Benjamin.

Free gig at Rough Trade – Howler Saturday 28th Jan Noon
If you fancy some live music at brunch time head to Rough trade in Brick Lane. Howler a new great emerging UK band is playing a free acoustic gig. We love them and we think you might like them as well.
Be aware though – go and collect your wristband from the store at least an hour earlier…or you’ve just have to hope all their fans had a wild friday night and can’t cope with the saturday morning hangover!

White Cube Exhibitions – Bermondsey st / Hoxton
Visit new Jay Joplings’ White Cube exhibiting spaces. Amazing pieces of architecture and fantastic contemporary art. They are both located in good areas with nice coffee places for a hot drink afterwards (so maybe don’t leave your wallet at home).
Currently on ‘Il mistero delle cattedrali’ by Anselm Kiefer and ‘The Indefferent Owl’ by Gary Hume. Seen both and we really recommend it.
