Headlining the new monthly gig from BrightonsFinest’s ‘Breakout’ night was country/folk-pop band ‘Wildflowers’ with support from folk singer songwriter ‘Nick Williams’ and quirky, psychedelic-folk band ‘The Victorian Hunter’.
It was a balmy night at The Blind Tiger Club for the first ‘Fragile Creature Feature’, a new quarterly night curated by Fragile Creatures. For this first show they decided to present MynieMoe as headliners with an acoustic set from The Bearded Monster to open up and a DJ set…
This month’s experimental/electronic themed Breakout Night was a raging success with a line-up to shout about! Fox In The City kicked off the night with their Progressive/instrumental and electronic soundscapes. A fairly new band on the Brighton scene, Fox In The City are making a name…
