Gigs of The Week, 9 August

Welcome to our weekly round-up of shows happening in the grand concert halls, dimly lit basements, airy cafe’s and grimy sweatboxes across the UK and Ireland. All acts featured come with the Best Fit ‘Seal Of Approval’ so you can be assured that your hard earned cash will be well spent. It’s looking pretty London heavy this week but as festival season kicks off we know they’ll be plenty of countryside stage appearances to keep you occupied. We’ve gathered a collection of dates from the likes of Martha Wainwright and Lulu James, not to mention Visions Festival.
