Gig: The Moms at Subside
New Jersey DIY punk merchants The Moms come barreling into Digbeth with a carefree abandon towards structure and limits possessed of an uproariously riotous attitude that has so far spewed out several records to much acclaim. Tagging along are The Run Up and Safest Spaces.

Film: Dunkirk at Journey Film Club *cancelled*
We found Dunkirk decidedly unepic for such a monumental story but it’s still a rollicking adventure and any film in the convivial atmosphere of Journey Film Club is a joy. Tom Hardy’s heroic spitfire pilot Farrier is a particular highlight.

Comedy: Rich Wilson at Patrick Kavanagh
Rich Wilson has been wowing audiences for years with his caustic observational comedy and is possibly the most in demand compere in the business, recommended by no less an authority than Frank Skinner. Hecklers beware he has something of a reputation for dealing with ‘difficult’ audiences.

Gig: The Britanys at The Dark Horse
Sonic Gun once again bring a stunning live lineup to Moseley’s Dark Horse headed up by New York’s The Britany’s, gloriously raw rock and roll that has received glowing praise from such luminaries as NME, an absolute tear up live these guys know how to shred. As if that wasn’t enough three more bands complete an incredible bill, The Americas, The Murder Capital and The Assist.
