Trash
With the the pinnacle of the Merseyside music calendar set to take place this week, Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald still finds plenty more on offer.
This week we celebrate the latest artist to be crowned the winner of The GIT Award, as the jewel in the Merseyside music scene returns to the Baltic Triangle.
Having witled down a long list of nearly 500 artists to this years twelve nominees, this year’s shortlist could be the strongest yet.
You may think that this would mean Liverpool would stand still but as we all know a little too well, music is the lifeblood of our city and it flows in bucket loads, as this week’s guide can testify.
So get those picks sorted, have a blast on the playlist and enjoy this week’s picks.
