Eastleigh Music Festival! Next Weekend! Haunted Stereo!

As the title may suggest, next weekend Haunted Stereo are going to be tearing up the Eastleigh Music Festival. What could be better than an evening of good weather (don't take my word on that) good company, good food, and very good music? Well...nothing...

Haunted Stereo will be sharing the stage with Badly Drawn Boy, and Peggy Sue (and the Pirates) and more, all for the price of £18! To be honest, thats a bargin...

Plus about, a billion local bands and street performers will be playing, so theres plenty for everyone! Bring the family, bring the friends, bring everyone you know, and I'll see you there!

www.eastleighmusicfestival.co.uk for tickets and times and all that stuff!

ALSO THIS MONTH (very excited about this)

Rude_NHS and JayETal to share the same stage for the first time in 5 years?! 

Rumor has it that a live improv jam is on the tables between the two Winchester favorites, and mystery guests a plenty! 

July 31st, 8 o clock, Railway Inn, Winchester! Be there! 

So as you can see, lots and lots going on this month!

I'll see you all next weekend!
