Legends, new faces and much more musical delights are on offer this week, as Getintothis Craig MacDonald runs through this week’s gigs.
One walk around the streets of Liverpool and you will know all about the wide range of music that we are lucky to have in abundance, dancing sway through our streets, week in, week out.
Whether it be icons or the latest darlings on the scene, there isn’t a week that goes by where you will find yourself twiddling your thumbs wondering who to see. This week is no different either. In what is traditionally the fallow season on the gig circuit, with every band and its roadie hitting the festival circuit over the summer, Liverpool remains a beating heart of audio gifts.
