This month's listings

April 2024's grid of gigs is available to download – 40+ nights, days, screenings, club nights, punk + hardcore + post punk + indie pop + metal for unsettled conditions. At the top: Es at the Old Spotted Dog.

The paper is A3, the ink is MZ-770 Bright Red & Green and the back page this month holds a "music from memory" Q1 review of gigs I've attended, a plea to help yet more punk infrastructure fight off the landlords and the return of Creg Clarrrk's column Out and About. (In a cultural exchange, I can be heard on his show Doin' it Ourselves on Soho Radio this month too.) Pick up a copy at a few of these places and let me know what you reckon.

To ensure your event is in the May 2024 calendar, please submit by Monday 22nd April.
