Once again Southampton's very own Joiners Arms is featured in the national music press, this time it needs your help to win the title.

Influential music paper the New Musical Express or the NME as most will more informally know it is holding a competiton to find Britain's best smallest venue, The Joiners has held off all the local competiton to take the regional title and is now in amongst the big boys so to speak in the final vote off.

Its now in head to head with such giants of the small veue circuit as Concorde 2 in Brighton, the Sugarmill in Stoke, Fratton Park in Pompey & my own personal favourite name for a venue, The Hebden Bridge Trades Club.

As was highlighted on this site about six months ago, The Joiners wa sin financial trouble and although it has been helped by celebrity secret gigs by the likesof Paul Heaton, The Vaccines & Frank Turner, winning this title would give it a big boost and put it back into the limelight.

Its easy to vote and takes less than five seconds, yes 5 seconds, its a simple click of the mouse.

Just click on the link below and vote, if you can also post this link on any other websites you frequent and indeed on your social media pages etc Im sure Pat the owner of the Joiners and a regular on this site would be grateful, he might not go as far as buying you all a pint for voting, but he might buy me one for urging you to do so and thats good enough for me.
