Events list or calendar view?

A client has asked for a section to be added to their website that shows information about regular events taking place at their venue. There is just one venue, and all events they want to include take place on the same day and time each week, and are recurring for at least several weeks. There are currently 5 regular events that take place, but that number is likely to go up to a dozen or so.

They expressed an interest in having a weekly and/or monthly calendar to display the events, but my opinion is that it would largely be redundant (each week being near enough identical) and a list view, with what's on ordered by day, for example, would be more appropriate.

Does anyone have any metrics or thoughts on which approach would be more appropriate?
