Top Tips for Live Music (for the week beginning October 5th)
The best news of the week was from The Hollow, announcing their new Supper Club series. If you want your live music during Covid, you have to get a little creative, and this fits the bill perfectly. They kick things off this Friday with Girl Blue.

Best bet: Going for a two-fer this week. E.R.I.E.’s (virtual) album release at The Linda was originally scheduled for last month, but had to be postponed to this Wednesday. Don’t forget to catch that. And with autumn in full swing, why not do a little apple picking with Wild Adriatic providing the background music? Windy Hill Orchard – East has you covered on Saturday.
