Don’t forget to come on down to the Sanctuary Café in Hove for the spellbinding Cath & Phil Tyler, the legendary Mary Hampton and the swashbuckling Laish Quartet.

Also we have another Willkommen gig next week at the Albert: with the warped country tunes of Constellation’s finest Eric Chenaux all the way from Canada, Curly Hair’s perfect pop songs (catchier than herpes) and the live debut of Cathy from Sons of Noel and Adrian’s beautifully engaging solo project Redwood Red. Tickets still available here.
