Woi oi. Apparently, we\u2019re basically all gonna die from a mega blizzard this week, so it\u2019s a good job we have some sick gigs to get us through init? Quite a mix this week – so grab a cuppa, and get stuck in…<\/span><\/p>\n

MONDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019d have thought after their mental 15th birthday at the weekend, that team Rescue would be hungover for a good few weeks – but they\u2019re keeping the celebration vibes going on Monday – as it\u2019s the legendary <\/span>Acoustic Rooms\u2019<\/b><\/a> eighth birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, they have a KILLER lineup to celebrate. Starting at 5:30pm w\/ current host <\/span>JOEY COSTELLO\u2019s<\/b><\/a> soulful Folk, the evening goes from the hilarious comedy-ukulele pop of <\/span>THE EDI JOHNSTON BIT<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> through to the grungey awesomeness that is <\/span>SCOTT BUGG AND THE VITAL FEW.<\/b><\/a> And, it\u2019s meant to go on till three in the bloody morning. Ending with a mega open mic \/ jam session. That\u2019s gonna be mad in the best way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and there\u2019s birthday cake.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Mmmm cake.<\/span><\/p>\n

FRIDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking of Bugg\u2019s, that Jake geezer (yes <\/span>JAKE BUGG<\/b><\/a>) is back in Notts this week for a solo acoustic tour. Playing the Royal Concert Hall. Probably not your usual go-to venue for our fine readers (your eyes look great today btw), but still, we\u2019re sure Jake\u2019s beaut voice and stunning songwriting will feel right at home here.<\/span><\/p>\n

AND – he\u2019s bringing fellow Notts lass <\/span>GEORGIE<\/b><\/a> along for the ride too. Who has got some banging new songs reader, let me tell ya. I use that word consciously too – her new songs – especially \u2018Too Much TV\u2019 is MASSIVE? An anthemic Stevie-Nicks-esque piece of pop bliss. Again – we\u2019re sure it\u2019ll sound awesome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Local providers of fresh garms <\/span>\u2018<\/span>Alibi Clothing<\/b>\u2019<\/span><\/a> turn five this week, and to celebrate they\u2019re throwing a lil shindig down at The Maze w\/ a bunch of Notts\u2019 finest. <\/span><\/p>\n

Three stages. An upstairs acoustic stage headlined by Alt-Rockers <\/span>SAY THE WORD<\/b><\/a>, funnily enough, playing an acoustic set. Beaut melodies, and songs inspired by beer, pizza and Rock City – can only be a goodun. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s an acoustic downstairs stage which is headlined by the super slick popness of <\/span>KATIE COOPER<\/b><\/a>. Again – doing an acoustic thang, but we\u2019re sure those super catchy choruses will be just as\u2026 erm, catchy. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the main stage – headlined by <\/span>BLACK INK<\/b><\/a>. A fairly new band, but jeeez these guys sound like they\u2019ve been doing it for ages. Headbang-inducing Metalcore, with an awesome clean vocal on the hooks. Well worth your ears, eyes, and headaches. <\/span><\/p>\n

Full line-up <\/span>HERE<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
