Gef’s Guide To All Of This Week’s Island Gigs

As you all probably know, Gef loves to have a boogie and let his hair down at the weekend after a tough week reporting on the local news.

But how does Gef know where to go for the best tunes and performances from local bands? As well as ticketed concerts at popular venues like the Villa Marina and Peel Centenary Centre?

Because he is a bonafide genius, Gef compiles a list of all of the gigs across the island that he has been made aware of.
