Saturday night’s alright, we think.

Two choice shows in Brighton this Saturday.

First up is an acoustic session by multi-instrumentalist Fiddes Smith and friends, featuring the beautiful singer and songwriter Sharon Lewis, formerly of the duo Pooka, and a singer who has collaborated with Orbital, The Leisure Society and most recently with Anais Mitchell in her folk opera, Hadestown.

Saturday, 7:30pm at The Basement, Kensington Street. Tickets are available here

Alternatively, the Bleeding Hearts Club have a rare Saturday night outting over in Hollingdean at the little Coachwerks venue, now home to Bartleby’s Brewery. Besides their excellent homebrew, on Saturday night they’ll be serving up a smashing mix of local acts – the soulful country tones of the Delta Bell, beat poetry from Gary Goodman, fantastic indie rock kids Grasshopper, and a rare solo show from The Pantomine Whore (aka Mum, from mum dad and the kids).

Doors at 7pm at 19 Hollingdean Terrace, Entry by donation.

Proceeds will go towards the bands’ lugging costs and the rest will go towards the cost of building the venue.
