Your guide to live music in Brighton this week

The first Christmas work do weekend of the season is over, so shake the shame out of your head, drink plenty of water and get your peepers round a stockingful of gigs coming up this week.

We have got more folk than you can shake a stick out, a Kate Bush tribute act at Brunswick on Sunday, and an Undercurrent genre-first: Death Crust.

Gigs don’t care if you’ve been naughty this year, they’re morally egalatarian like that.
