Etta Marcus
When: Friday 2 February
Where: The Bodega
How much: £14.30
Etta Marcus’ gig is not one to be missed. This Brixton born artist’s music is reminiscent of Phoebe Bridgers and Lana Del Rey. Her elegant songwriting offers striking portraits of self-sabotage, self-destructive relationships, careless burnouts riddled with regret and pushing away those you love. She has also taken inspiration from Radiohead and her writing is influenced by her love for poetry. If this sounds like a bit of you, get yourself to The Bodega for a night of ethereal music and lyrical genius.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
