Your guide to live music in Brighton this week

As we enter the business end of spooky season Brighton is jam packed with as many gigs as it is ghouls.

This week, 18-24 October, our fair city is holding host to a proper south coast hardcore double header on Saturday at Rossi Bar and Back Beat, a spooky Bowie night on Thursday at The Brunswick, and the Folklore Sessions 7th birthday shindig at Quadrant.
