Friday 17th
Strawberry Guy – Ditto Coffee – 6pm
Top of the bedroom pops list with the touring keys player of Liverpool/Halifax transplants the Orielles, it’s Alex Stephens a.k.a. Strawberry Guy. It’s a pleasure to see a new venue open its doors to live music programming in the form of this Jamaica Street café playing host to synth and synth-string driven bendy/woozy songcraft that the city has a current penchant for. Spaces are limited to 30 so you may have to join an online waiting list for tickets. Bit of a squeeze.

Saturday 25th
Kornel Kovacs – 24 Kitchen – 10pm
The off-kilter, playful Swedish-born electronica producer KK comes to lift January spirits with his Stockholm-inspired sounds: a kind of kaleidoscopic boombox-ready filter-y electro-house with warm pads and swells underpinning it all. Local favourite Breakwave is on open-up in support.
