Month: December 2022

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.
