We saw the boys of Pirate Video Company play last night at Avondale House and it is safe to say that they had more energy than a puppy in a Lucozade factory!
Here they are with personal favourite “Hollow Optics”. ENJOY!
So SMILEfest is coming to a close, but we want to know who was your favourite to declare SMILEfest’s “song of the week”.
ALL AFTERNOON!
Come down on Thursday 21st February for a fun filled acoustic night at Southampton’s deliciously swank restaurant bar, YUZU, a pre-showcase for Solent SMILE Week 2013. Happy hour prices all night!!!!
But this acoustic night has a competitive twist; you are invited to come along and vote for your favourite act of the night and if you get merry enough feel free to jump up to the mic and participate. Winners will go away with one of a variety of prizes.
If you’re an acoustic act and you are interested in playing drop one of the hosts a message!

The Ant Law Quartet will be playing at The Cellar on Monday 18 February as part of a Jazz Services sponsored UK tour. Guitarist Ant Law will be bringing his regular quartet line-up of Michael Chillingworth on alto and soprano saxes and bass clarinet, Tom Farmer on bass and James Maddren on drums, which makes a fabulous sound if their debut CD, “Entanglement” is anything to go by. They will be playing a mixture of their own compositions as well as a few standards.
So, if you like jazz, head down to The Cellar on Monday.
