THERE are loads of great gigs happening again this week.
Tonight (Thursday) at Tank on Westfield Street, Paul Kappa makes his return and if you've not seen Paul before, either with the band or solo you're in for a treat as it's one of the best live shows around and well worth seeing. The show kicks off at 9.30pm and Paul is renowned for playing shows of three hours plus so no doubt it will be value for money once more.
It was nice to hear from Paul Griffiths of the Zoo Bar this week. Their live music program is kicking up a step on Friday, October 9 with the return of Jeramiah Ferrari. The band have played in St Helens a few times over the last couple of years and have gained many fans with their own brand of ska/reggae. No doubt it will be another busy night in the Zoo Bar and if you've never seen Jeramiah Ferrari, as with Monsieur Kappa, they are well worth checking out.
Speaking of which, check out this week's gig guide.
