Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards will be given out at a bash at The Garage in London this Saturday, which is rather exciting. The Radio 1 DJ will again be celebrating musical talent from across the world, from the eclectic mix of genres you find on Peterson's radio show.

Alongside the award giving, there'll be performances from El Michels Affair, Robert Glasper Trio, Nailah, Floating Points Ensemble and Danay, the latter being flown in from Cuba. Gilles discovered Danay while working on that previously reported 'Havana Cultura' album.

I think all the tickets for the first part of the evening - ie the awards bit - are sold out, but tickets will be available on the door for the party bit that kicks off at 11pm. More info in the relevant bit of www.gillespetersonworldwide.com
