As we enter the festive season there are some real treats in store for you Southampton. This week we can feast ourselves on the beautiful folk legends from Plymouth, Mad Dog Mcrea from the West of the South, and the intriguing art-folk sounds of Hannah Moule & The Moulettes from the East. Alestorm are here to drink our beer, Slade are determined to knock you out of the Noddy Game, and Up The Highstreet launch a daily Christmas cracker of local live lounge acts. Bridget Hart is returning home to launch her new book, a poetry queer retelling of Grease. There's even a live version of A Question of Sport. Something for everyone and we love it.
