Gig Guide - 1 January to 27 January 2020

Each fortnight I post any gigs that I think might be worth a look. The list is usually heavy on folk, blues, jazz, country, punk and singer/songwriters but sometimes includes a surprise. This is not a guide to everything that is going on in Hobart just the gigs that appeal to me. It will be continually updated as the fortnight passes by. I will also post gigs on my Patron of the Arts Facebook page.
