About Me

"BrightonLiveSpace - probably the most comprehensive live-music listings for the town, written by people who actually seem to go to most of them, with gig reviews and a ridiculously enthusiastic weekly digest about what's on the way" - Cheeky Guide to Brighton

We set up this page to share our passion for live music in Brighton with other like-minded souls. Since we started in January 2006, we have been overwhelmed with the interest in the site, and amazed by the number of musicians and bands, promoters, venues and music fans who have become our friends via MySpace!

Our main aim is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date listing of gig dates in Brighton and Hove (subject to gig-going and other commitments!). We get the gig details from venues, promoters, ticket agents and local bands themselves (though sometimes these sources contradict each other!). Before travelling to a gig, please confirm the details with the venues, as we are not usually given accurate timings, or told if a gig has been cancelled.

My Interests

Gigs, music, CDs, songs, musicians, seagulls

I'd like to meet:

Gig-goers, bands, musicians, venues and promoters in the Brighton and Hove area are all very welcome to join us. Please let us know if you are aware of a gig that is missing from, or incorrect in our calendar. (We only show a few weeks’ listings at a time, and keep the others hidden until nearer the time).

Please note that we accept add requests from local bands only, though are happy to list all Brighton gig dates.

Please forgive us if we don’t answer your messages regarding finding venues or booking gigs. We are NOT PROMOTERS! and cannot help you! Please see the useful links on our page instead.
