TRIO VALORE – Soul Cellar – Saturday 13th December
Fans of Paul Weller and Ocean Colour Scene are in for a treat at Soul Cellar this coming Saturday as Trio Valore make their Southampton live debut.

The band are made up of Weller’s long serving drummer, Steve White who is widely recognised as amongst the best drummers in the world today, Damon Minchella, former bassist with Mod heroes Ocean Colour Scene and keyboard player Seamus Beaghen who has a musical CV as long as your arm and includes rock and roll royalty such as Morrissey, David Gray, Supergrass, Desmond Dekker, P.P. Arnold, Madness and Weller himself.

Trio Valore are very much a dance band in the old school style, aiming their music at both the heart and the feet. The pedigree of musicians involved has already caused a big enough stir to make every discerning music fan sit and take notice. This alone confirms what a coup this is for the Soul Cellar as it surely will not be long before Trio Valore are taking their grooves to bigger venues. This really is an opportunity not to be missed.

Their version of Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” has to be heard to be believed whilst debut album “Return Of The Iron Monkey” is sure to be up there in most “Album Of The Year” lists that tend to surface at this time of year.

Saturday’s show will not just see the band performing a high energy live show but also a DJ set, therefore creating a unique package to complete what promises to be a fantastic evening. Very few tickets are still available from the Soul Cellar. The ticket office number is 023 8071 0648. Don’t miss out!


We were sad to hear of the death of Alan Briars last December.
Alan was co-founder of the Trowbridge Village Pump Festival and was also a musician himself. The Arc Theatre in Trowbridge is staging A Tribute In Music To Alan Briars on Saturday February 23. The lineup includes Alan’s former band Stove Gallows, Mike Silver, Johnny Coppin, Keith Christmas and Fred Wedlock. Please support the evening which is raising money for the Dorothy House Hospice. Tickets are £10 through 0845 299 0476.


Mint Burston, who died on November 17, 2007, was almost single-handedly responsible for turning the Joiners Arms from a back-street Southampton pub into one of the most important venues on the UK gig circuit, vital in the early careers of Radiohead, Oasis, Muse, Coldplay and almost any important band of the last thirty years.  Mint's unerring instincts, his tolerant approach, his unselfishness and his promoting skills are remembered and appreciated by all who have visited or played at the Joiners. Please use the Myspace tribute page to share your memories and appreciation of this unassuming but truly great man: http://www.myspace.com/minttribute
