The Brook, Southampton

Jefferson Starship

It was a cool October evening as we climbed of the motorcycle’s and made our way into the Brook. In a refreshing change of circumstance we found we were part of the “young” minority in the room. Which is hardly surprising, as we were here to see Jefferson Starship. A band that has been through many name changes over the years and which actually performed at the legendary Woodstock concert in 1969, under the Jefferson Airplane moniker.

The Joiners, Southampton

Nine Black Alps

It’s Sunday night and the Joiners is less than half full for tonight’s openers The Lost Souls Club. Hailing from Southampton they open with the quite brilliant “Jesus”. Heavy drums are accompanied by an equally heavy bass and some clangy guitars. Joe (vox/guitar) has a powerful voice, which is just as well considering the wall of noise being made around him.

Fahran

Fahran are a five-piece, hard-rock band hailing from Derbyshire. The meaning of the name comes from the German “to drive/go”, which encapsulates their album perfectly, and the way these guys keep control of their work and creativity, and as ever when artists keep control over their work and own processes it shows.
