If you are into rock music- or generally NME friendly bands the only place in southampton is Joiners- it might look like just another scruffy pub on st mary's st but it has been the home of many an up and coming band.

It's worth checking out bands you havn't heard of before they get to massive to play joiner size gigs (2-300) Bands like at the drive in- who are now rising as a "Hot" band played recently- and the vereve in a recent interview namechecked the venue as the home of one of their best gigs!

Tickets are usually around £5 and beer is prices are pretty reasonable- one word of warning St Mary's is a bit of a rough area so don't hang about too long if your getting public transport move on to a but stop or taxi rank a little further away- KEEP ROCKING!
