It must be the first Friday of July as The Young Pilgrims are bringing their “sort of brass band thing” to The Hare & Hounds again. Always an energetic and thrilling evening, and if you can’t bring a smile one will be provided so don’t worry! There will be the usual kick ass brassery from the Pilgrims who are joined this time round by the ‘un-pop’ Antelope and their brand of massive modern soul. Delta Autumn will also be assaulting your senses with some Thundercat groove and the Leftfoot DJ collective will be mopping up the pieces. All banging on till the early hours, where else can you get this much sophisticated eclecticism for £8?

Fri 1 Jul, The Hare And Hounds, 106 High Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham B14 7JZ. 8.30pm, £8. www.hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk
