Hello lovely Splash Pointers!
You’ve probably been looking out for us in your inboxes – and here we are, with a round-up of July’s gigs, plus some photographic highlights from last month – one of our busiest ever!
[How times have changed since the unmentionable 2 years ago – Ed.]
There are a busy few weeks in prospect for what we hope will be the highest of high summers, from the scorching bluesy vocals of Zoe Schwarz to Brandon Allen’s sizzling tenor sax, with a lot of breezy good-time gigs in between.
Read on and be dazzled and amazed… (well, entertained at least, hopefully 🙂

The month of June started off well when Neal’s regular Brighton solo gig at the Nautilus Lounge turned into a trio on the night.

Followed by the usual sold-out night at The Old Plough, which included local radio hero Nick Mallinson (Seahaven FM) in the audience

Amazing gigs of the 6-piece band in Germany, with a lot of driving in between!
The gig in the beautiful castle near Stuttgart again, then…
…up to an outdoor festival near Dusseldorf (that was a loooong drive)
