Summer Gig Guide


Each fortnight I post any "in real life" and online 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 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.

Online Gig Guide - 24 April to 7 May 2020


Each fortnight I post any online 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 the new Covid-19 world 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.
