The good burghers of Shirley, unable to be included in the main Music in the City event due to the vast distances involved, arranged their own music festival last year, raising money for charities and providing a platform for local talent.
They're hoping for bigger and better this year.
Always up for a local festival, we've registered to get a performing slot, and have been allocated one in the bar run by the organisers of the event

Music in the City
September 13th-14th - somewhere in Southampton
We've sung at this annual free music festival on each occasion since its inception and we have applied for a slot this year.
Care Home visit
Sunday Oct 5th Oak Lodge care home, Freemantle common
Another in our regular types of event, providing some entertainment at this care home.
We've not been to this venue before, but it's in the same group as Northlands House where we sang recently and one of the non-dancing staff asked us to visit.
On a personal note, it's walking distance from your correspondent's home, and since he books the gigs...
Carols in the pub
South Western Arms, St. Denys. Friday 19th December 2025
Having failed to secure a convenient slot at this venue for community carolling last year, this time your correspondent contacted the proprietors in June. Book early for Christmas as they say.

The way we run these sessions is to hand out lists of songs on which the customers tick off their favourite carols and songs, whereupon we sing them. Simples!
These events are usually a really good way to get in the festive mood.
If you have an event planned and you would like us to come along to sing, please contact us.
