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.
