Your guide to live music in Brighton this week

Now that we have all hopefully recovered from spooky season it is time to get properly stuck in with the most divisive of all words – Christmas.

If decking the halls is your bag then fear not, for there are a whole host of gigs to get you revved up for Santa, baby. Otherwise, if your general idea of hell is a Brighton pub full of Christmas work do idiots and Mariah Carey blaring in your ears, then you can scuttle off to a gig and hide from the festivities.

This week is a real treat for all involved an includes some lovely jazz at Concorde 2 on Monday, some electronica courtesy of Pongo at Patterns on Thursday, and a horror punk Halloween do at The Prince Albert on Friday. God bless us, every one.
