The first of the Spotify Live UK series will be staged at London venue The Lexington in Islington this week.

Taking place on Friday the 11th November, with a performance from acclaimed British singer-songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich, this show will provide the perfect opportunity to catch the rising star in an intimate setting ahead of his Shepherd’s Bush Empire headline show on February 22nd 2012.

The series will open with an appearance from a hot-tip for 2012, US violin-playing soul singer Marques Toliver.

Each of the 4 nights of the London series will feature a two-act format, with special guest DJs between the acts. The events are free to attend and entry will be via a first come first served basis on the evening of the event, with the first entry at 7.30pm.

For a chance to secure two places on the guest list to see Benjamin Francis Leftwich on the 11th November at the Lexington, Spotify Premium account holders over 18 years old wishing to attend on the night can email: spotifylive@rockfeedback.com quoting their Spotify username.

Spekaing of the event, Benjamin Francis Leftwich revealed. “I'm very happy to be kicking off the first UK Spotify Live event. Spotify really gets behind musicians and helps get great music out to people. I’m so grateful for the support they have given me and the live event series promises to be very exciting for everyone.”

For those who aren’t lucky enough to make the live event, a series of video pieces documenting the events will be released at www.guardian.co.uk/music 2-3 days after each event.  Spotify users will be able to enjoy high quality audio recordings from the night by visiting the Spotify Live profile – simply search Spotify Live on Spotify as well as Spotify playlists selected by featured artists.  New playlists will be added to the Spotify Live Profile over the course of the series.

Three further Spotify Live series events will be taking place in November and December and will be announced in the coming weeks.
