Little Grandad

On Monday, 27 April, Little Grandad is stopping by The Prince Albert as part of a wider ten-date tour across the UK. It’s a folk-focused evening organised by JOY. Present, featuring the main act alongside a selection of guests. For those familiar with the Brighton music scene, the venue at 48 Trafalgar Street is a frequent choice for these kinds of tours, offering a space that suits the acoustic and folk genre. This particular show is one of several stops the artist is making to connect with local audiences outside of the larger festival circuit.

The doors are scheduled to open at 19:30, and the event is expected to run until approximately 23:00. Because of the venue's licensing, this is an 18+ event, so you'll need to have ID handy at the door. It’s a mid-week performance, which usually means a slightly different crowd compared to the weekend rush, and the 23:00 finish time makes it manageable if you have to be up for work the next morning or if you're catching a bus or train from nearby.

In terms of getting hold of tickets, there are a few options available. JOY. Present has them listed at £8 plus the usual booking fees, while other platforms like JamBase show them at £9.00. You can find them on DICE or AXS, which are the primary digital outlets for this gig. Having multiple platforms can be useful for comparing the final checkout price once the service charges are added on.

Since this is part of a structured tour, the setlist and the guest appearances are likely to be consistent with their other UK dates. The Prince Albert’s upstairs room is known for its intimate layout, which often complements the storytelling aspect of folk music. It’s a chance to see how the material from the tour translates to a smaller, local stage before the artist moves on to the remaining dates of their schedule.
