Thursday means we’re past the halfway mark, and a number of amazing shows are already behind us, but if you’re yet to make it to a show this week, there’s still time.

With so much happening up and down the country – it’s hard to keep track. This gig guide offers a comprehensive view of the Independent Venue Week shows you can catch this evening. Among Thursday’s highlights are an evening of experimental music at The Shed in Leicester, Warmduscher at the Windmill Brixton, Slow Readers Club at The Met in Bury, and a whole host more.
