Vote For The Joiners As Britains Best Small Venue

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.

What to read next:

Some fans happier than others as Gray on the verge of joining Spurs
It’s been reported that Archie Gray has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur and the clubs have shaken hands on a deal worth £40m. And it’s fair to say that the reaction of our fans on social media has been somewhat mixed.
Leeds reject offer from Gray but are still likely to lose him
The proposed deal to sell Archie Gray to Brentford has collapsed at the eleventh hour, but with Leeds needing to make sales to comply with FFP, it’s likely that we will sell him to one of the other clubs who are on his case. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have all been mentioned.
Leeds start 2024/5 on a Saturday lunchtime
The fixture list for the new season was announced this morning, and Sky TV have got their talons into it already. Our opening game is at 12.30 at home to Portsmouth, as inconvenient as that is for the away fans travelling up from the south coast.
Mixed reaction from fans as Aaronson comes back for next season
In a surprise move, Brenden Aaronson has decided to return to Leeds for the 2024/5 season after talks with Daniel Farke. It’s fair to say that some fans are happier about this news than others.
Should they stay or should they go?
Leeds United have issued the retained list for the 2024/5 season, and while much of it confirms what we already know, on the face of it there are a couple of surprises.
Can Red Bull help Leeds to fly back to the top?
Today Leeds announced that Red Bull have bought a minority stake in the club, and will take over as the main shirt sponsor, but thankfully there will be no change in the name of the club or the colour of the shirt.
Marathe admits that PSR is likely to force player sales
The 49ers have plenty of cash available to invest in Leeds United, but defeat in the 49th game of the League season means that some key players will be leaving to keep the club with the Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
Play-off jinx continues as Leeds lose to Southampton again
****ing Southampton. Again. ****ing Adam Armstrong. Again. ****ing Play-offs. Again. Grrrrrr.
