Ben Howard is set to play a special gig from his front room on Monday (3 October) - and you can watch the whole thing here on Qthemusic.com.
We will be streaming the show, staged at his Devonshire home, from 6.30pm (BST), marking the release of his debut album Every Kingdom.
"I just thought that was quite a special place to mark the album release," he explained. "I wrote quite a few of the tunes by the window there so it felt like a cool idea to bring everything full cycle to where it started. The nice thing is we would probably all be over mine having a few beers to celebrate anyway."
Howard will be playing a set of both solo tracks and full band numbers.
"It should be quite a casual affair. The tracks will all be quite stripped back and acoustic with some just solo and in original form, and the plan is to have a few friends over for vibes and joy," he said. "It's only a small room so it would get pretty messy with drum kits and amps and mics!"
The singer also revealed to Q ahead of the gig that the next couple of months will be very busy for him, meaning he won't have much time for his beloved pass-time - surfing.
"We're on tour pretty much till Christmas by the looks of things. Doing the UK in October, into Europe for November, and heading to a few other places in December," said Howard
Tune into Qthemusic.com on Monday at 6.30PM GMT to stream the gig.
