The Plymouth Gig Guide: Local Sounds for the Weekend Ahead
Another big weekend of live music is landing across Plymouth and beyond, with plenty here for anyone wanting to catch local talent alongside touring acts. Plymouth bands and artists are right at the heart of this week’s picks, from Carrier at The Junction and Jon Stafford of Haunt The Woods at The Waterfront on Friday, to The Fates at Hyde Park Social Club, Joker at Steel Brew and The Horizons at The Golden Hind on Saturday. Sunday keeps the local spotlight shining with Merlians at Marina Bar, The Busketeers at Bar Rakuda and Russell Sinclair’s Sunday Blues Club at Steel Brew. If you are looking for your next local favourite, this weekend’s gig guide is a good place to start.
Please drop Steve an email at Steve.rowlands@oceancityradio.co.uk to tell him about a gig you went to and he will give you a shout out on next week’s Rowlee on the Radio, Wednesday at noon on Ocean City Radio.
