Southampton, this is officially your largest listings of the year! And it only scratches the surface of the artists who are playing for you around our great city for Music in the City on Saturday. From cafés to art venues to underground medieval wine vaults to pubs – the city will be alive with the sound of music. Please go along, enjoy, and support everyone involved in this unique celebration of music (most of them are sharing their art or volunteering out of the kindness of their heart). For now, what a week, enjoy!
