Rain, snow, sleet, and sunshine. Well, hopefully that's all out of our system now, and we can get back to business. This weekend, with everything from bluegrass Ukelele goodness and full on vice, to high drag culture and even some beret-toting French cinema, there are plenty of opportunities to get our social lives back on track.

This weekend's guide is brought to you in association with PPQ and Nokia, who have teamed up to create a limited edition collection of dresses. Combining the cult style of the former with the high luxury of the latter's new 8800 Arte collection, click right to discover how you can have the chance of getting your hands one of these bespoke dress-phone pairings.

Duke of Uke
Nothing makes one's wretched woes retreat (aside from a bottle of wine, a valium and a couple of tequilas) better than a healthy dose of bluegrass. And the only thing finer than your run of the mill Appalachian revelry, would be if it was headed by the Duke of Uke's masters of the diminutive 4-string, and they were joined by a veritable brigade of fellow foot-stomping string-pluckers.

Vice Kills
I can't help but be just a little bit terrified by this new monthly night at the relocated Proud. Sure, there's a cracking line-up on the books, and the space is certainly fabulous. But, you see, I've been to enough debauched Vice events that the merest mention of them having a monthly regular mash-up is already making my kidneys ache. Not that that's always a bad thing, mind.

Jukebox Jam
For those of us who get these curious, insufferable cravings for throat-rattlin', double bass-twangin' rock 'n' roll, the Jukebox Jam is like a glass of ice-cold lemonade on a baking Texan summer's day. And what a tall, cold soda April's get-together will be. Expect all the usual, stomping 88-spinning, plus bonus live sets from the Bottleneckers and the Hammond-toting Five Aces.

GutterSlut
Wearing its merciless, carnage-addicted, camper-than-thou heart on its sleeve, the Dalston Gay Mafia are back with the delicious beast that is Gutterslut. Jonny Woo is on poledancing MC duty (after finishing up over at Bistrotheque: where does he get that energy?), Prickimage and Ralf Obergfell are providing the imagery, and with Superchumbo (Tom Stephan) taking the guest DJ spotlight, glam up, write off Sunday, and prepare to get filthy.

Strange Hill
School may be out for everyone else, but for four peculiar pupils, an afternoon's detention leads to some of the queerest lip-synced musical shenanigans you could never imagine. Penned by and starring Jonny Woo, together with the rest of the transtastic cast from Night of a Thousand Jay Astons, this is the drag show to end all drag shows, and is entirely unmissable - especially before they swap the cast.

Batmacumba 10th Birthday
Ten years after the ICA hosted its first night of Brazilian-drenched party magic, DJ Cliffy is back with his Batmacumba baby to celebrate its decade with a suitably up-for-it season centring on the gloriously utopian state of Recife. Current hot-thing, DJ Dolores, is over from Brazil for the event's guest slot, plus there's a smattering of Brazilian short films in the cinema to complete the sensory effect.

Pas d'Histoires
This evening sees the screening of a fascinating cinematic collection, focusing on French, mostly Parisian filmmakers who have pushed the boundary of the documentary form. From the embodiment of Cinema Verité himself, Jean Rouch, to last year's 'Ne me touche pas,' by Olivier Zabat, and of course the don himself, Jean-Luc Godard, you don't get to see this lot under one roof very often, so make a point of it.

Hunga Munga Spring Breakout
I know these art gigs can seem a little like hard work. But, really, it's actually more like dropping in on your friends with the 'papers, and sliding into the inevitable Sunday tipple. And then, o look, some more friends have popped by with a few great bands in tow and a heap of artistic odds and ends for you to muck about with. Not so hard now, is it?

UpTownBoogieDown
If quirky Bethnal Green interactive art events and groundbreaking French documentaries aren't your idea of Sunday fun, then how does a night of deep house in West London sound instead? Thrown together by the UpDownBookieDown crew, it's certainly a sexy line-up. And, proving that live art isn't solely the treasure of the East set, Georgia Ciancimino will be painting. Something. Live.
