The Brighton Warmup - Live Music with Matt

The Brighton Warmup kicks off at Laughing Horse, the bar inside the a&o Hostel on Old Steine, this Saturday 18 July. It's a live music night with Matt on the bill, and it's built for a very specific part of a Saturday night: that window before you head out for clubbing. The idea is to pre-game with live music and a few drinks rather than just sitting at home, so it's aimed at people who want to get the evening going early.

It's billed as a relaxed night of live music with good vibes and great company, with talented live performers on the bill. You can grab a drink from the bar and soak up the atmosphere before the later part of your night takes over. If you're planning on hitting the clubs later, this is a way to start the night with a proper gig rather than just a few drinks in a living room.

One thing to keep in mind is that this isn't a one-off. The Brighton Warmup runs every Saturday from 19:00 to 21:00, and this first date on 18 July is followed by 25 July, then 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29 August, and finally 5, 12, 19, and 26 September. It's a regular fixture through the summer and into autumn, so if you miss this one, there are plenty more to choose from.

It's free to come along, so you can just turn up and see where the night takes you. The music runs from 19:00 to 21:00 at Laughing Horse, 41-42 Old Steine, BN1 1NH, which puts it right in the centre of town and easy to get to before you head on to whatever else you've got planned for the rest of your Saturday.
