Planting a flag in the centre of the North East music scene, SSD Concerts are a forward thinking team based in Newcastle with over 40 years experience. They even maintain their very own pop-up cultural hub - Think Tank?, a creative space plotted in the city centre that operates on the cusp of new music.

Shedding light on some of our hot picks from across February, Manchester rock-laureates MONEY pitch up at the venue on Monday 15th with their newly-released LP Suicide Songs.

Ben Ottewell drops into The Cluny on the 10th, the former singer and lead guitarist of Gomez. He currently fiddles a solo set that melts his unmistakable voice, enduring tales and a splash of the blues.

We highly recommend you catch a glimpse of our band of the week Spring King on the same night for some hyper-charged DIY punk at Think Tank?.

And to round off the top rank of our February bucket list, eighties alt-metal band Therapy? are sending the rousing riffs on the 27th at Northumbria University.
