Live music show Porchlight, presented by JOY, at The Hope & Ruin in Brighton, with The Scuttlers on support.
Porchlight play The Hope & Ruin on Thursday 1 October, presented by JOY. They're the main feature of the night, with The Scuttlers on support.
The Hope & Ruin is a 150-capacity room above a busy Brighton pub, and it's a venue that books live shows from local and international artists alongside a regular poetry night and the odd late-night club. There's a bar pouring draft lagers, beers and ciders, plus the venue's own Hope & Ruin Mosaic Pale Ale, and a ground-floor bar to hang out in before and after gigs. It closes at midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and at 2am from Thursday to Saturday, so on a Thursday night like this one, you've got until 2am to keep going.

With Porchlight headlining and The Scuttlers opening, it's a double bill in a room that holds 150, and the venue's location above the pub means you can drift between the two. If you're coming from outside the city, the ground-floor bar is a handy spot to settle in before the music starts, and it stays open after the show if you fancy a few more drinks before heading home.
