Jack Whitehall’s in town and he’s brought his family. There’s loads of DJ nights on Saturday, with Soul 45 offering up soul, The Hill bringing the rave, Tribal Drum Syndicate handling the DnB and a Reggae Roots Dance at The Alexandra. Elsewhere, there’s the Southampton Ukulele Jam Christmas Cabaret at The 1865, and Baga Chipz is at The Engine Rooms with Tanya Hyde for a drag interpretation of Abba. On Thursday night, conscious rapper Amy Be launches her first EP at Whiskey Blue. Whatever you get up to, have a great week Southampton!
