Kate Nash has announced that she’ll be doing a one off gig at Highgate’s Boogaloo tomorrow night in support of Stables Market.

Stables Market is under threat from property developers, who wish to build a shopping centre on the site.

Support will be coming from Graham Coxon and further acts to be confirmed.

The six female DJs Rach Rohypnol, Melanie Speaking, Lady Bird, Lucie The Specalist, Starz and Good Alan can reportedly count Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne and Amy Winehouse amongst their fans.
