Dot to Dot hits us today, and if you caught up with our preview you’ll know it’s going to be a day of awesome music from talented local musicians.
If you’re stuck for who to go and see, I’ve taken it upon myself to give you a few pointers and drawn up the list below. Admittedly I do know some of the artists personally, so there is a certain amount of biased (I’ll not mention which until my final review, though), but I can vouch for them, promise.
2pm @ Rough Trade – Ryan Farmer
3pm @ Rough Trade – Hashtagobi
4pm @ The Old Angel – Whiskey Stain (My personal recommendation)
4.30pm @ The Old Angel :upstairs: – Wolves Don’t Sleep
5pm @ The Old Angel – The Bucky Rage
5.45 @ Stealth – Avante Black
6.15 @ Rescue Rooms – Yellow Days
7pm @ Junk Yard – Autumn Diet Plans
8pm @ The Lofthouse – You Want Fox (featured in Dot to Dot Preview http://www.nottinghamlive.co.uk/live/preview-dot-to-dot-2017/ ) **MUST SEE**
8.30pm @ Rock City – Amber Run
8.45 @ Stealth – Bone Cult (like a musical shot of jaegermeister if you don’t fancy
A more chilled vibe with Amber Run)
11pm @ Baresca – Unknown Era (My personal recommendation)
These are the bands I’m aiming to catch throughout the course of the day, and there has been a certain amount of planning behind it, but obviously music is always a personal preference. This is such a small selection of what’s on today and I’ve left myself lots of time to have a wander about and soak it all in. There are so many more I’d go see, and my advice would be to not get too caught up in sticking with a schedule. Chat to people, enjoy the atmosphere and go along with the flow.
