Plymouth gig guide: Looe Weekender, Union Street Party and live music closer to home
Doesn’t time fly? Another weekend looms and another local gig guide produced by Soundwave Radio Plymouth in partnership with Plymouth Culture.
Proceedings are sort of dominated by the free Looe Weekender with loads of our seasoned artists heading down to entertain folk but if you don’t fancy travelling, there’s still more than enough to enjoy closer to home. Special mention also for the 17th Union Street Party hosted by Nudge Community Builders, with loads to do and see on Sunday afternoon.
If your gig or venue isn’t mentioned please add in via Comments and tell us about a gig you went to, who and where it was. Enjoy your weekend!
