2022 – 52 weeks of gigging (part four)

It’s fair to say that 2022 has been a truly fabulous year for live music in Brighton, Sussex and beyond.

The Brighton & Hove News have endeavoured to cover as many live music performances as possible. We have witnessed no less than 1179 live music sets during the year. A majority of which focused on the local Brighton music scene going down at our treasured grassroots music venues. But obviously not forgetting the national and international artists, as well as the various festivals that take place throughout the year.

As a special celebration, we have put together this four part week-by-week article of what we covered and had the extremely difficult task of selecting just one photo for each week. You can click on each one to read the review of that event. So without further ado, let’s celebrate October, November and December 2022…..
