Toronto's premiere music showcase festival, North by North East kicks off next week, and in preparation for this, CFRC's British and Irish music show brings you coverage of emerging bands from across the water playing the festival. We also interviewed two performers: Welsh rock duo Alffa ('the mighty Alffa', in the words of Michael Sheen) and London psychedelic rock band The Paisley Daze! Catch me at the festival next week if you're a Toronto-based listener, come and say hi! Music this week by:

Tom Robinson Band, Erasure, Romy, RAYE, Charli XCX, Joe & The Shitboys, Marbl, Alffa, DONT MAKE THIS WEIRD, Darkwah, The Paisley Daze, Luke Black, The New Eves.
