Live music every Thursday at Drake Circus, The Barcode, with local musicians performing on the Hollywood Steps.
The Barcode Live is on this Thursday, 16 July, at Drake Circus, and it's part of a regular run that brings live music to the centre of Plymouth every Thursday. The set is held at The Barcode, with local musicians performing on the Hollywood Steps, so it's a spot you can easily drift into if you're already in town.
The whole thing is built around the local scene. Each Thursday, a different musician or group from around the city takes the steps, which means the sound changes from week to week rather than sticking to one particular style. It's a good way to catch people you might not otherwise seek out, especially if you're not usually the type to go hunting for gigs around the city. If you've been before, you'll know the format: a local act playing live in the middle of the shopping centre, with the Hollywood Steps serving as the stage.
Because it's a weekly thing, it's easy to make a habit of. If you're around Drake Circus on a Thursday, you can just stop and listen for a bit without having to plan your whole evening around it. It's a low-pressure way to keep up with what's happening in Plymouth's music scene, and since it's on the steps, you can hang around for a few songs or stay for the whole set.
