An explanation as to why there are two cover photos from last week’s gigs – put simply I couldn’t chose between Hannah Moule and The Moulettes, and Mad Dog Mcrea. Both were sublime gigs that I thoroughly recommend the next time they are in town. Unity Brewery is also an excellent live music venue it seems, once they’ve moved some of the beer out of the way!
As for this week there are yet more delicious festive treats in store for you Southampton. On Thursday, why not be serenaded whilst you tuck into delicious veggie food at October Books’ first evening café? Micro Music on the same evening offers a selection of the city’s finest in the equally lovely setting of Mettricks Guildhall. From Westcountry legends The Wurzels to local king of the double bass Grant Sharkey, from Spunge to the psychedelic sounds of the Ozric Tentacles, there’s surely something up your street this week. If you find something awesome through these listings, please let us know through our Facebook group.
