Atlantico had a storming gig at Kolebka last Saturday, the third outing with new members Duncan Brown, Linden McKenzie and Owain Clark, and the capacity crowd danced their socks off (I know it was a capacity crowd - I got there late was queuing for 20 minutes to get in). And they'll be doing it all again at Talking Heads this Friday.
Friday 5th December at 9pm at Talking Heads
320 Portswood Road, Southampton SO17 2TD

On Saturday 13th December Melting Pot presents a great double bill of acoustic bands with Louche Manouche and Contraband at the Lantern Theatre in Romsey - gypsy jazz meets bluegrass.
Louche Manouche specialise in gypsy jazz, following in the footsteps of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli who virtually invented the genre back in the the 1920s and 30s. Contraband are exponents of bluegrass music, which takes old-time tunes from the Appalachian Mountains along with elements of country music, blues and jazz.
Dazzling musicianship and toe-tapping rhythms with some stunning improvised solos - the ultimate good-time evening!
