November 2019: 10 gigs in Birmingham for less than a tenner
Christmas comes early in November, as this is the month to sink your teeth into as many gigs as possible. It’s hard to bundle all these gigs up into just 10, but we tried our very best to bring you some of the best in alt, psych, indie and more.

PR, events and social media by day, lover of all things geeky and retro. Can often be found scribbling notes at the back of the gig.
