In the week that Wild Front are playing their last gigs in Southampton - or indeed anywhere - for the foreseeable future, Southampton's warming up for a new year of entertainment. There's Halo-inspired deathcore from the US, a local sax and harmonica duo, blues, punk, an experimental ensemble at Arches Studios, and Lego and Steampunk meetups. It's vitally important that we support local whenever we can especially at a time where every penny counts, both for ourselves and our favourite businesses and artists. Thanks for continuing to share the word about Shop Local Southampton and all the great events happening in our vibrant city.

Happy Hannukah, Happy Solstice, Happy Christmas and Happy New Year Southampton! These listings take you right up to Christmas and into the New Year. There will be no listings for the week beginning 2nd January as we will be taking a break, back with you on 9th January. From Slade to Soul 45, Keepers Brew to Black Kat Boppers, there's a lot to keep you entertained. And don't forget the traditional Mummer's Play and jam at The Social on New Year's Day. Have a great time and we'll see you in the New Year.
