The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Local alternative pop band Good Damage feature on the Thursday line-up which is being curated by the WaterBear College of Music. Sheffield grunge-pop oddballs Been Weavil are headlining Friday night. The 11-piece jazz, funk and soul band Mappin Street Collective are a highlight of Saturday's diverse lineup. And Sunday will be closed by the country and americana inspired Chorlton Country Club.
