Live music is well and truly back in the town
After a Covid-enforced absence of two years it feels absolutely great to be writing about the local music scene once again and bringing the local gig guide back to the Times of Tunbridge Wells. Given that we are in spring 2022, I am essentially starting from scratch and will look to expand the guide to its maximum capacity over time. I will do my best to list as many events as possible…
If you are a local to Tunbridge Wells venue that hosts regular live music or even if it’s a one off event, concert or festival please email me at least six weeks in advance of your event date with the details.
