Mad about Mandy + Echo Beach

Mad about Mandy and Echo Beach share a bill at The Chantry Brewery Bar on Friday 11 December, with the night starting at 19:00. It's a double bill, so you've got two acts on the same stage rather than one headliner and a few openers. Both are listed under reggae and ska, which tells you exactly where the evening sits: off-beat rhythms, brass, and the kind of music that doesn't ask you to sit still. If you're into that side of things, this is a straightforward one to pencil in.

Having two acts on the same bill means the night stretches across a couple of sets rather than one long run. You'll get Mad about Mandy and Echo Beach back-to-back, so if you're coming for one, you'll likely end up staying for both. It's a Friday night in December, too, so it works as a proper night out rather than a quick stop-in. The Chantry Brewery Bar is the spot, right here in Sheffield, and with the start time at 19:00, there's plenty of room to get settled before the music kicks in.

Tickets are £45, and the whole thing runs on Friday 11 December from 19:00 at The Chantry Brewery Bar.
