Craig Charles
The big day is here and so are plenty of festivities between Christmas and New Year, as Getintothis’ Simon Kirk has all the dirt.
So, it’s here. Well, almost – you still have another week of incoherent drivel to get through as far as us here at the gig guide are concerned.
We’re sure you’re all just about partied out what with Christmas parties, catching up with people who you’ve been promising to catch up with since the turn of the year. Yes, we understand, that’s life and ‘everyone’s busy’.
Okay, so…. we’ve recycled a fair bit from our Christmas and New Years gig and events guide below, but there are a some extra bits and pieces which have been added that might interest you, we’re sure.
First, though, there’s the small matter of Christmas to tackle. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and safe travels to your loved ones. Don’t eat too much and please, Christmas jumper day was Friday week ago so either bin it off or leave it in the drawer for next year.
