With the dark nights closing in, a host of acts are ready to illuminate Liverpool in their splendor as Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald finds out.
The clocks have gone back, the leaves have done one and the big jackets are out in full force. Yes, the dark nights may have well and truly rolled in, but that doesn’t mean us gig goers have to curl up and rest until Spring.
For with the abundance of names on offer this week, Liverpool will be illuminated in an ocean of sonic splendor as far as the eye can see. From the grandest venues to the darkest haunts, your path will be lit along it all.
We even have a few special events heading your way later in the month too, so stay tuned.
